    leftist generals tried to establish a socialist government by giving a memorandum in 1971. 1960 coup defacto organizer Cemal Madanoğlu was the leader. After that memorandum de facto Turkish Civil War started. Left had a support from a few leftist military generals but bourgeoisie won by splitting the left with Maoist and Trotskyist.

    Especially, Maoist and Trotskyist were very useful for CIA to paralyze the movement. Another factor was the left lost its main leaders like Mahir Çayan, Deniz Gezmiş.

    1980 Coup de etat orchestrated by the CIA massacred, tortured and executed many leftist generals, officers and comrades.
