Socialism Discussion during Ottoman Period and the Concept of Ishtirak
Abstract
Socialism, which first appeared in the 19th century when the European countries especially England were at the peak of their power, became a serious threat in their centers. In the face of this threat, on one hand legal regulations were made by European regimes and on the other hand social effects of these movements were tried to be decreased via propagandas claiming that socialism means “removing the family institution”. The conflict between big bourgeoisie and proletariat (working class) became known with the help of press which just came to existence in Ottoman Empire after the 1848 revolutions. Yet, black propagandas accompanies the socialism news coming from Europe. In Ottoman Turkish, the concept of ishtirak was created as an equivalent of “socialism” and “communism” and the explanation of the concept was linked to Mazdekism. This study aims to enlighten the discussions about socialism in conservative societies in the 19th century.
