The approach set out in the post
On its official Instagram account, Türk Alevi Ocakları defined nationalist, people-centred statism as an approach bringing together the Turkish nation’s independence, the strength of the state, domestic production and social justice within one political outlook.
Seven core principles
- National independence: Türkiye making its political, economic and strategic decisions independently.
- A strong state: a state that upholds the rule of law, is governed on merit, is accountable and serves the public interest.
- A national economy: developing agriculture, industry, technology and domestic production.
- Workers’ rights: fair pay, trade union rights, safe working conditions and protection of labour.
- Service to the people: the state serving society as a whole, rather than only privileged groups.
- Social justice: equal opportunities, quality education and healthcare, and combating poverty.
- Turkish nationalism: protecting the Turkish nation’s culture and history while defending citizens’ equal rights.
The central idea
The post’s central idea is that the state exists for the nation, the economy serves the people’s prosperity, production underpins national independence and workers’ rights are guaranteed by the state.
