On this basis, the October Revolution of 1917; He followed in the footsteps of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky. The founder of revolutionary Marxism in Turkey, in his own words, is the continuation of Mustafa Suphi, who came to Anatolia to establish a "workers and peasants council government on the way of world communism".[2]
He argues that ethno-religious divisions, nationalism, imperialist and capitalist systems in Turkey and the Middle East can only be responded to with the class struggle of the working people and the oppressed. It aims to build a Leninist revolutionary vanguard party to create a socialist Middle East, to organize the workers and oppressed to abolish capitalist private property.

SEP explains the detailed reasons for leaving ISL in "Letter to ISL Members: Why Did We Leave ISL?" published his article.[3] In this process, party theorists produced theoretical explanations about the imperialist rivalry in the world and the US-China tension.[4][5]
