And what classes do people belong?
THE RULING CLASS
1- Ethnicity wise:
Affluent Islamist Pontics and Sunni Kurdish tribal leadership on the AKP side
Dersim clans, local Nusayri Arabs and affluent leftist Pontics on the opposition side (especially CHP)
These people have the most opportunity. In an economy where who you know is the biggest asset, they have the best networks. Whether it's to get preferential treatment from the healthcare system or to fix an 'ihale', if you belong to one of these groups you at least know someone who knows someone.
2- Religious organization wise:
A variety of tarikats practically own the country. It doesn't matter if it's the Kedicik freaks or Menzil oozeheads, someone who belongs to a tarikat can always be found in key positions. Don't believe me? Try to find... A HSYK member without tarikat connections, for example. I mean, they exist but the list is very short.
3- Political organization wise:
Ülkü ocakları bigwigs are a thing. AKP higher-ups are basically politbureau who order police officers around. CHP municipalities are also a thing. These have access to rent money from public funds and they liberally distribute it to their friends and even to themelves.
If you are connected to at least two of the aforemented groups you are a member of the ruling class.
This is the ruling class of Turkey. If you are one of them or somehow connected to them, your problems go away easier and regular 'reaya' don't mess with you. You have safety nets other people can only dream of. Can you get away with murder? Sometimes. If the twitter mob doesn't force the courts to punish you.

THE LEECHING CLASS
Career criminals, semi-criminals like 'galerici' kekos, tax avoidants. People who do production but avoid taxes, steal electricity, exhaust public funds in some manner. People who are in the 'entertainment' industry. Beggars.
Ethnicity wise, this group is mostly Gypsies, Cono, Kurds and Syrians but some token Turks, too.
-----------------------
THE TOILING CLASS (I.E. SUCKERS I.E. POSTMODERN MARABALAR)
Ethnicity wise: Turks, basically (and Turkified others). Most of the poorer Kurds.
Soldiers, police officers, healthcare workers, all mid to low level white collar workers, teachers, all of the blue collar workers, Getir couriers, industry workers, doctors, engineers. People who are beneficial to society, basically.
