Socialist Workingmen's Party

Socialist Workingmen's Party  is a communist political party based in Turkey. It was founded in 2016.

 Ideology 
The SEP fights for socialism, where social equality is ensured all over the world, and the capitalist system is buried in history with the coming to power of the workers. The founder of revolutionary Marxism in Turkey, in his own words, is  Mustafa Suphi, who came to Anatolia to establish a "workers and peasants council government on the way of world communism"."100.

He argues that ethno-religious divisions, nationalism, imperialist and capitalist systems in Turkey and the Middle East can only be responded to with the class struggle of the working people and the oppressed. It aims to build a Leninist revolutionary vanguard party to create a socialist Middle East, to organize the workers and oppressed to abolish capitalist private property. 

The SEP claims that the working class can come to power and that the only revolutionary program of the socialist revolution in the 21st century is the program of permanent revolution.

 International organization 
The SEP has carried out theoretical productions and practical organizational activities in order to build a new international. The party was among the founders of the International Socialist Union (ISL), whose founding steps were taken at the 2019 Barcelona Conference.
