Getting Lost, in Searching for a Direction Gökhan Atılgan This study dealing with one of the most effective intelligence groups in the Turkish political life, Yön-Devrim Hareketi (Direction-Revolution Movement), focuses on two basic points. Firstly, it is depicted how the Movement appeared, which conditions made the Movement effective and what sort of thesis they had. Secondly, it is stated that this trend having significant effects on the Turkish socialist movement once upon a time, constitutes a source to the nationalleftist currents neglecting the class struggle and Marxism. In this study, it is pointed out that Yön-Devrim Hareketi represents a tendency within the opposition block appeared during the DP (The Democrat Party) period during which Turkey has become a part and parcel of imperialist system on the American axis. It is also declared that Yön-Devrim Movement following the May 27 tried to establish a theory specific to Turkey by relating socialism and Kemalism to “noncapitalist development” model theorised by the USSR for underdeveloped countries. Yön-Devrim Movement’s getting lost in searching for a new direction for Turkey reveals that an intended positive relation between Kemalism and Marxism even if it becomes effective in suitable conditions, in the final analysis, is proved to be impossible.
