Communistically

/ˌkɒmjʊˈnɪstɪkəli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to or characteristic of communism; from a communistic perspective or using communistic methods.

Etymology

From communistic + -ally suffix, creating an adverb form. Built through standard English adverb formation from the adjective.

Kelly Says

The adverb form demonstrates how Cold War English created these sprawling adjective-to-adverb chains to describe ideological opposition—saying something was done 'communistically' implied a critique in a way that 'communally' would not.
