Revolutionary People's Party (Turkey)

The Revolutionary People's Party (Turkey) was a Marxist-Leninist political organization founded in 2004, influenced by leftist and revolutionary ideologies. It aimed to challenge Turkey’s current political and social system, advocating for proletariat rights, social equality, and a socialist restructuring of society. The party emphasized organized resistance against capitalism, imperialism, and government oppression. It operated within Turkey’s legal framework but was often viewed with suspicion by authorities due to its revolutionary stance. In 2008, the party was closed by Turkish authorities, accused of promoting illegal activities, reflecting ongoing tensions between progressive political movements and state institutions.
