They consider themselves as [nationalist](/source/nationalist), [socialist](/source/socialist) and [Kemalist](/source/Kemalist). They often promote Nationalism, Socialism and Secularism. However, unlike many socialists, they criticise Marx often and they consider [Mustafa Kemal Atatürk](/source/Mustafa_Kemal_Atat%C3%BCrk) and [Sultan Galiev](/source/Sultan_Galiev) as ideologues of Turkic Socialism. They are influenced by [Attila İlhan](/source/Attila_%C4%B0lhan), [Doğan Avcıoğlu](/source/Do%C4%9Fan_Avc%C4%B1o%C4%9Flu) and [Şevket Süreyya Aydemir](/source/%C5%9Eevket_S%C3%BCreyya_Aydemir) also.

The group published ''Türk Solu'' and ''İleri'' and founded a political party called [Ulusal Parti](/source/National_Party_(Turkey)).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ataturkcuparti.org/|title=Atatürkçü Parti Geliyor!|work=Atatürkçü Parti|access-date=13 January 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304232816/http://www.ataturkcuparti.org/|archive-date=4 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.turksolu.org/269/basyazi269.htm|title=Gökçe Fırat Atatürkçü Parti'ye çağırıyor|newspaper=TÜRKSOLU Gazetesi|access-date=13 January 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111019002914/http://turksolu.org/269/basyazi269.htm|archive-date=19 October 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ulusalparti.net/|title=Ulusal Parti|publisher=Ulusal Parti|access-date=13 January 2012}}</ref>
