[Hurriyet Daily News] President Recep Tayyip Erdogan... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
said
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
should be ruled like a company, and for this to happen, a presidential system is required! Thus, the "Turkish-style presidential system" in Erdogan's mind is becoming clearer.
We were defining it as an "authoritarian, one-man administration," but "corporatism" has been added to it with the latest statement. Benito Mussolini
...former dictator of Italia. He perfected the idea of the corporate state and was all the vogue in intellectual circles until he lined up with Adolf in the Second World War. He wanted Italians to be figli de la lupa, and like the sons of wolves they turned on him when they finally got the chance. He ended his days dangling by his heels in a public square next to his mistress...
's fascist Italia was exactly this type of a state.
Well, the clues were there... Looking at the series of laws that were attempted to be sold to the people as a "security package" but actually were aiming to form a police state, we understood what it was.
Justice would be reporting to the president, the executive body would be run by the president, the president would be able to renew parliamentary elections, he would be running the country with decrees with the power of the law without the need for a parliament and a "corporative" mentality would dominate the state.
Thus, if his wish comes true, Turkey will turn into the Italia of 100 years ago. They were saying "New Turkey" all the time, now we know their dreams were "old Italia."
