Vasenkierteinen

Vasenkierteinen is a political term used in Finland to describe a left-wing political ideology or political party. The term is derived from the Finnish word "vasen," which means "left," and "kierteinen," which means "circular" or "round." The term is often used to describe political parties or ideologies that are critical of capitalism, support social democracy, and advocate for progressive social policies. Vasenkierteinen parties typically support a strong welfare state, progressive taxation, and social equality. They often advocate for policies such as universal healthcare, free education, and strong labor rights. The term is often used to describe the Finnish Social Democratic Party, which is the largest left-wing party in Finland. However, the term can also be used to describe other left-wing parties or ideologies in Finland and other countries. The term is often used in a neutral tone, simply to describe a political ideology or party, rather than to imply a positive or negative judgment.
