Turkish left-wing groups

Turkish left-wing groups are diverse organizations that advocate for social equality, workers' rights, and progressive reforms based on socialist, communist, or anti-imperialist ideologies. Historically, they oppose authoritarianism, capitalism, and nationalism, seeking to address issues like inequality, human rights, and democratic freedoms. Some groups have been involved in political activism, protests, and, in certain periods, armed struggle against the state. Their activities and influence have evolved over time, shaping Turkey’s political landscape by pushing for more inclusive policies and challenging conservative or conservative-leaning governance.
