Summary/Abstract: While the leftist-socialist movements which found the opportunity to organize legally in the beginning of the 1960s emerged as a result of the development of Turkey’s historical social dynamics, the theoretical analyses that these movements developed strategically were based on the ideas brought forward by the October Revolution, despite all the differences between them. The research question discussed in this study concerns the period when the theoretical influence of the October Revolution on the Turkish left emerged in relation with the materialization of the socialist revolutions in underdeveloped countries during the imperialist epoch and addresses the different views developed theoretically on the seizure of political power during the hegemonic struggle of the political movements known as Yön (a Kemalist magazine), TİP (the Turkish Labor Party) and MDD (the National Democratic Revolution) against the dominant classes.
