Atsızism
Atsızism () is a far-right ideology based on the thoughts of Nihal Atsız, a Turkish ultranationalist writer and ideologue. History Atsızism is known for its hardcore Turkish nationalism, Pan-Turkism, Turanism, and racism. Atsız viewed Turkish nationalism as being empty if Pan-Turkism and Turanism were not included in it. Although the term "Turanism" refers to the unity of all Ural-Altaic peoples (including Turkic peoples), Atsız used "Turanism" as a mere synonym of "Pan-Turkism", he had the goal of uniting only the Turkic peoples and did not care about other Ural-Altaic peoples. A famous quote of Atsız was "a Turk has no friend except for another Turk." He also stated "we are not Europeans, we are Asians and we are cold as ice, and above all, we are Turks." Atsız was also a fierce critic of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and much of his policies, although his negative views on Atatürk are replaced with a positive view after the 1960 coup. He claimed that Kemalism had too much for ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Islamism is a range of religious and political ideological movements that believe that Islam should influence political systems. Its proponents believe Islam is innately political, and that Islam as a political system is superior to communism, liberal democracy, capitalism, and other alternatives in achieving a just, successful society.
