Sadık Usta: "Dinler insanın en büyük korkusuyla baş etmesi için çıktı" | Aydın Tonga İle Açı Farkı 8

This week on "Açı Farkı" (Difference of Angle), Aydın Tonga's guest is historian and author Sadık Usta. Where are the origins of religion in human history? What is the connection between the awareness of death, the evolution of the brain, and belief systems? Are religions an instrument of oppression in class societies, or revolutionary leaps in their historical context? In this insightful conversation that challenges conventional wisdom, we conduct a sociological analysis of religion, from animism to shamanism, and from there to the historical and revolutionary role of Prophet Muhammad. We reread events from a historical and dialectical perspective, covering a wide range of topics from Karl Marx's "opium" metaphor to the critiques of religion by Turan Dursun and İlhan Arsel. Later in the program, we will discuss the Iranian issue, which has captured the world's attention. We discuss how the conceptualization of the "Mullah Regime" is used as a tool of ideological hegemony against possible US and Israeli interventions in Iran, and how the left, secularists, and socialists should take a stance in this crisis, drawing on the anti-imperialist legacy of Lenin and Atatürk. Finally, we criticize the fact that the left and socialist movements in Türkiye are confined solely to the labor-capital conflict, and we seek ways to build a new politics based on secularism and republicanism. ⭐Don't forget to subscribe to our channel, like our videos, and share your opinions with us in the comments! 🎥 Enjoy watching! ✨ 📢Follow 12punto for more content: ➤Website: https://12punto.com.tr ➤Twitter Account: https://x.com/12puntocomtr ➤Tiktok Account:   / 12puntocomtr   ➤Instagram Account: www.instagram.com/12puntocomtr ➤Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/12puntocomtr... ➤Youtube Page:    / @12puntotv
