A '''socialist state''', '''socialist republic''', or '''socialist country''', sometimes referred to as a '''workers' state''' or '''workers' republic''', is a [[Sovereign state|sovereign]] [[State (polity)|state]] which is constitutionally dedicated to the establishment of [[socialism]]. The term ''communist state'' is often used synonymously in the [[West]] specifically when referring to one-party socialist states governed by [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxist–Leninist]] [[communist parties]], despite these countries being officially socialist states in the process of building [[socialism]]. These countries have not described themselves as ''[[Communism|communist]]'' nor as having implemented a [[communist society]], but are in the process of doing so. | A '''socialist state''', '''socialist republic''', or '''socialist country''', sometimes referred to as a '''workers' state''' or '''workers' republic''', is a [[Sovereign state|sovereign]] [[State (polity)|state]] which is constitutionally dedicated to the establishment of [[socialism]].
