      Currently, North Korea, China, Russia (which, despite no longer being formally socialist, still widely uses socialist Soviet iconography and has the Russian Communist Party as one of the coalition partners of the regime), Venezuela, Cuba. Until very recently, Syria.

        Russia isn’t even socialist, not even in aesthetics, Cuba is communist.

        By syria you mean Rojava? not sure if they are socialist, they are more anarchist. But the media has radio silence about them.

          Cuba is communist.

          Cuba is ideologically communist (specifically, Marxist-Leninist) and claims to be a socialist state on the path to endstage communism.

          By syria you mean Rojava? not sure if they are socialist, they are more anarchist. But the media has radio silence about them.

          As I said until recently, I am referring to the Assadist regime, which was formally a Ba’athist state espousing Arab socialism, and for that reason had many tankies simping for it hardcore despite not being much more than a despotic clientistic economy which oppressed its own working class to a greater degree than even developed bourgeois capitalist democracies.
