not very. but they're alright. we also have a workers party and they have delegates in the parliament (i guess 3), where tkp doesn't.
historically they have been mostly on the right side of things. they were really influential in the late 70s. but after the '80 coup, a huge number communists were just slaughtered or tortured for years on end. now we're left with practically a two party system: religious fascism or nationalist fascism.
there's a kurdish party and they're mostly left leaning, and a good portion is socialist, but the widespread racism has labeled them as terrorists, naturally.
that's true. what i meant was the communist movement was strong in the 70s, not a specific party. but you're absolutely correct.
