Preferred term

Eurocommunism  

Definition

  • A system of ideas and political practices advocated primarily by the Italian, French, and Spanish communist movements in 1970s and early 1980s, Eurocommunism aimed to distance Western European communism from the Soviet model and to create various national models of communism, which would be compatible with the liberal democracy. Eurocommunism was directly incited by two events in 1968: the demonstrations of the student and women movements in Western Europe and the Soviet military intervention in Czechoslovakia and the subsequent suppression of the Prague Spring.
