Everyone involved with political parties, especially those in leadership positions, must understand globalization, current global conditions, the characteristics of their own country, and how international relations function, and develop concrete policies accordingly.

When globalization is viewed from a religious perspective, the politicization of ethnic and religious divisions in underdeveloped countries is not a spontaneous, natural, and inevitable phenomenon; rather, it is a planned implementation based on financial and political power, designed and maintained. It is used as an effective tool in weakening and fragmenting underdeveloped countries.

Summary of the Theoretical Study - February 20, 2021

On February 20, 2021, as the Scientific Politics Platform, we worked on and discussed the topic of "Understanding Globalization Correctly." In the evaluation made at the end of the study;

Fascism and Nazism emerged in Italy and Germany after World War I and were considered racist. However, when examined in conjunction with their economic and class foundations, they are directly linked to the interests of monopolistic corporations. Economic practices in Italy and Germany, ruled by fascist dictatorships—such as the privatization of state institutions, the awarding of large state contracts to monopolistic companies, and the re-privatization of banks (which had been nationalized after the 1929 crisis) after their capital increases were funded by the state budget—bear similarities to current practices. Mussolini and Hitler are condemned by all Western countries today, but the economic system they established is hardly criticized; on the contrary, this system continues today with an expanded sphere of influence, much more intensely and extensively. Fascism is the establishment and maintenance of monopolistic corporate dominance through overt violence.

Today, monopolistic corporations, with their increasing financial power, political influence, and organized structures, hold an overwhelming advantage over unorganized labor. Workers avoid unions and strikes for fear of losing their jobs. The conflicting structural antagonism between workers' rights and corporate interests persists, generating problems and conflicts. The struggle that workers and all other labor forces will wage, united with national independence movements, possesses more than enough organizational experience and intellectual capital to achieve this.

When viewed from a religious perspective, globalization reveals that the politicization of ethnic and religious divisions in underdeveloped countries is not a spontaneous, natural, and inevitable phenomenon, but rather a planned practice created and maintained through financial and political power. It serves as an effective tool in weakening and fragmenting underdeveloped countries. The transformation of ethnic and religious groups—composed of people who are unfamiliar with the world, lack organizational experience, are deprived of financial resources, and are backward and uneducated—into economically and politically powerful global empires is the clearest evidence of this.

Conclusion;

Everyone involved with political parties, especially those in leadership positions, must understand globalization, current global conditions, the characteristics of their own country, and how international relations function, and develop concrete policies. For those who wish to defend the rights of their country and people, this behavior means being anti-imperialist.

The mass solidarity necessary on this path is achieved through organization, and a high level of awareness is achieved through enlightenment. For intellectuals to be able to convey the right consciousness to the masses, they must first and foremost be equipped with the right consciousness themselves.
