Right and Might

Posted on by Ahmet Ozcan

As opposed to the classic socialist jargon “We are right, we will win!”, the most basic truth of life is “We are mighty, we are right!” The sacred concepts of morality, i.e. right or wrong and just or unjust, are alone empty concepts. As power gives the content of morality, might defines (and re-defines) what is right or wrong.

My educational background is on Political Science. I did my BA at the Yildiz Technical University and MA at the Sabanci University in Turkey. I have recently obtained my PhD in Political Science at the Boğaziçi University with the dissertation entitled "The Missing Link in the Chain of Oppression and Resistance: Last Era of Kurdish Banditry in Modern Turkey, 1950-1980". I am also a human rights advocator and a participant of the Council of Europe's initiative Young People Combatting Hate Speech Online. I established the blog Discriminative Dictionary that aims to collect all discriminative idioms and proverbs in Turkish not only to analyze the reproduction of discrimination via daily language, but also to condemn them as hate crimes against society and humanity.
