While Kadroists maintained the elitist attitude inherited from the Tanzimat period, they also made their unique contribution in four aspects: First, the mission of bringing the people to the level of elites; Secondly, giving the intellectuals the mission of guiding society at the national level; third, to build the necessary doctrine to create new generations that will carry the revolution; The fourth is to assign a global role to the revolution. This study claims that Kadro, emphasizes the distinction between the elite and the people as the political subject of the nation-state within the framework of harmonized national unity; However, this is the same approach that is largely based on the priority of elites for the mission of creating a new society. It also tries to achieve this goal within an authoritarian-totalitarian model, rather than a democratic one, due to the conditions of the period. The study uses the "content analysis" and "in-text interpretative method" by scanning primary literature, consisting of articles written in the journal, and secondary literature, consisting of academic studies such as articles, magazines, and books based on this literature, in a descriptive and interpretative manner. The study focuses on examining the Kadro movement as an intellectual movement and Kadroism as an attitude within the framework of canon conceptualization.
