The AKP’s problem with the social sphere
Frankly, the fact of the matter is that in its so-called period of ultimate “mastery,” the AKP has ended up placing everything, including the search of its own internal differences for individualization, inside a straitjacket of politics. The more the party submerged itself in political fisticuffs, the more its lifeline to the social sphere slipped out of its hands.
The last footprints in the sand of the ghost of revolutionary memory
Surfing the internet, I keep coming across those who keep flying on wings of fancy “from the Gezi spirit to the spirit of 8th June.” The way they connect these two is that the people’s “revolutionary wave” first crested at Gezi, then retreated in the face of “counter-revolutionary terror,” but is now “rising yet again” as reflected by the 7th June outcome.
A time to reflect
If a political movement gravitates toward basing its whole existence on the cult of a single leader; if it begins to forget that regardless of his abilities, that leader is not a god and that he is not above mistakes, criticism or discussion, it is to itself that that movement will be causing the greatest harm.
Raising the bar for normality
Perhaps half of the AKP constituency also wants the return to normality itself to proceed along normal lines. They don't want a political environment where they are solely limited to following those in power, and where an atmosphere of constant fighting and bombast prevails.
