põhikapitalist

Põhikapitalist is a term used in Estonian political discourse to describe a political ideology that combines elements of capitalism and nationalism. The term is often used to characterize the political views of the Estonian Reform Party, which is the largest political party in Estonia. The ideology is characterized by a strong emphasis on individualism, free market economics, and a commitment to preserving Estonia's independence and sovereignty.

Põhikapitalist ideology is rooted in the country's history of economic liberalization and political independence. It emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as Estonia transitioned from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. The ideology is often associated with the political philosophy of the Estonian Reform Party, which was founded in 1993.

The term "põhikapitalist" is a portmanteau of the Estonian words "põhi," meaning "foundation" or "basis," and "kapitalist," meaning "capitalist." The ideology is characterized by a commitment to free market economics, a strong emphasis on individualism, and a commitment to preserving Estonia's independence and sovereignty.

Põhikapitalist ideology is often contrasted with other political ideologies in Estonia, such as social democracy and conservative nationalism. While the ideology is generally associated with the Estonian Reform Party, it is not exclusive to the party, and there are other politicians and thinkers in Estonia who share similar views.

In recent years, the term "põhikapitalist" has been used to describe a broader political movement in Estonia, one that is characterized by a commitment to economic liberalization, political independence, and a strong emphasis on individualism. The ideology has been influential in shaping Estonia's political landscape, and it continues to be a significant force in Estonian politics.
