...if I see where Turkiye was in in the eighties so I think Turkey did good progress all in all.

Turkey even produced its own cars the Anadol interesting for a country like that back then

Economic wise no doubt the 1970s and early 1980s with the internal violence makes the Italian experience of the "year of lead" violence look like a picnic

So, basically, 1980's Turkey was a very shitty place to live..

depends on social class really again I would argue Turkey was probably like their Eastern European neighbors or slightly poorer

Of course it depends on social class. I mean, a millionaire in Malawi is probably happier than a mine worker in Switzerland.
That said, most people aren't that lucky. When I said Turkey sucked in the 80's, I meant it sucked for most people.
I grew up in the 80's, in the middle of Istanbul, in a lower-middle class family. So believe me when I tell you that it truly sucked ass in the 80's.

Yeah that made sense Turkey was still in midst of massive urbanisation which is why Turkey is so polarised between Istanbulites and Anatolians but Turkey like a lot of their neighbors were "experimenting" with neo-liberalism prior to the 80s Turkey had a robust state owned sector

Was Anadol ever successful I know they close production in the late 1980s and they even had their own produced sports car for a then very poor country interesting but Devrim is probably the most memorable

Seriously man its so good to see this. So many people romantice a period which they were not born in or even lived.

A lot of people who complain today would not even live in the past despite how they romantice it of being perfect.

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug but it did seem Turkey was a lot less polarized tho exception violence between political groups but today's Turkey may be wealthier more powerful but is caught in unnecessary culture wars

Culture war began ever since tanzminat. Us Turks are still arguing on what is modern and the role of religion.

What it means to be Turk and Muslim. While at the same time contemplating how the Turks fell off from being the strongest in history to todays problems.

But it seems it's gotten worse as Turkey drags itself into unnecessary conflicts
