The Socialist League (Finnish: Sosialistiliitto) is a Trotskyist organisation in Finland. It is affiliated to the International Socialist Tendency. From 1995 until 1998 the organisation was known as Communist Youth (Kommunistinuoret).
At its founding the Communist Youth was close to the "new" Communist Party of Finland (SKP) but supporters of the SKP left the organisation after the name change. They founded Communist Youth League of Finland in 2000.
The Socialist League publishes the magazines Murros and Antikapitalisti. The organisation is active in different left led protests.
Famous quotes containing the words socialist and/or league:

“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
