Birikim (Turkish: Accumulation) is a leftist magazine which has existed since 1975 in Turkey. It was banned by the military authorities in 1980 immediately after the coup. The magazine resumed its publication in 1989. It was a print magazine under the subtitle Aylık sosyalist kültür dergisi (Turkish: Monthly socialist cultural journal) until 2005 when it was redesigned as an online publication. Birikim was started by a group of Turkish Marxists, including Ömer Laçiner and Murat Belge, in 1975, and its first issue appeared on 1 March that year. The magazine was initially headquartered in Ankara. Its publisher is Birikim Publications which also produces other titles, including Toplum and Bilim (Turkish: Society and Science). One of the goals set for Birikim was to redefine socialism based on a critical approach towards Kemalism. Therefore, it managed to develop its own approach without being part of any fractions within the Marxism in Turkey. More information...
