Note
Only the noun takes this ending. Socialist also works as an adjective (a socialist party, socialist policies), and adjectives never mark number, so the modifier stays singular even before a plural noun: socialist governments, never socialists governments. The plural covers both kinds of socialist: people who advocate socialism in general, and members of a party or group that does, as in the party's socialists.
