Do you think Kemalism is a bad ideology?

[Soteris]

Its alright. I find it is mostly there to serve as a transition from old to new though as its intended to take the diverse people of the former ottoman empire and unify them into a new country and identity who is competitive with other modern countries at the time. To a point I guess it has done that but Turkey today is hardly the juggernaut it could have been so its arguable that these reforms has ultimately failed.

It's certainly better than Erdoganism, or as I like to call it cultural and economic extinction.
