sosialistisetkommunistiset

Sosialistisetkommunistiset is a Finnish compound adjective used to describe political currents that align with both socialist and communist ideologies. The term is formed from sosialistiset (socialist) and kommunistiset (communist), typically used to modify a plural noun such as liikkeet, ryhmät, or ohjelmat. It denotes a self-identification or scholarly classification of groups that explicitly advocate a synthesis or overlap of socialist and communist principles, for example in economic planning, state ownership, or revolutionary aims. The phrase is primarily descriptive rather than denoting a formal, universally recognized political party name; its use depends on the author and context. In Finnish discourse, the term may appear in historical surveys of the left, as well as in analyses of international currents that identify as socialist-communist. The expression can appear in different typographic forms, including with a hyphen (sosialistis–kommunistiset) to aid readability when used before a singular noun or in longer compounds. Related concepts include socialism, communism, and Marxism-Leninism, as well as debates about the relationship between democratic and revolutionary strategies within leftist movements.
