Umit Ozdag emphasizes the deepening authoritarianism process in Turkey. He believes that economic difficulties have expanded the space for both the government and the capital class.

The 1980 coup is seen as a turning point for the regression of the labor movement, strengthening the authoritarian state structure. Ozdag argues that this negatively affects the democratization process.

Recent economic issues can be overcome through the unification of the opposition and societal objections. However, this also triggers dynamics that increase authoritarianism.

Ozdag highlights the importance of both legal and labor struggles. He argues that these two struggles need to be combined.

In conclusion, the path to democratization in Turkey lies in breaking the authoritarian labor regime. This can only be achieved through active societal participation.
