Countries that have been socialist
No love for Chile? Couped too soon?
Definitely couped way too soon.
Also shouldn't a couple of the central American countries be marked? (Can't remember which ones)
And vuvuzela
vuvuzela isnt socialist in the traditional marxist-leninist way though, does it count?
where burkina faso
One day people will be sharing those timeline videos of maps where the colours change over years/months except it will be for socialism and its complete transformation of the world.
Whatever criteria was used is too strict imo, but not enough red either way. Much like Wikipedia, you can contribute by expanding
cuba just hanging out all on its lonesome 
Death to America
Is Catalina not considered socialist? Also what about Venezuela?
PDR of Algeria 🥺?
So the creators of this map are considering Myanmar/Burma’s nominally socialist period to not be properly socialist?
That one I understand. What I don't get is leaving out something like Burkina Faso. This list is looking at ML States in particular, which is fine, I guess. It leaves out some non ML experiments like Algeria and Venezuela, but Burkina Faso was explicitly ML
What about San Marino? It was so socialist the US had to coup them
I thought this was a joke, but of course it's real.
Yeah, just looked this up. The impetus seems to have been leftist infighting:
In the 1955 general elections, the ruling coalition won 35 of the 60 seats in the Grand and General Council. Five moderate Socialist members of the council wanted to break the alliance with the Communists who were close to the Soviet Union and did not condemn Soviet actions during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. They left in April 1957 to form a new party, the Sammarinese Independent Democratic Socialist Party (PSDIS). This left a perfect 30–30 split in the council that paralyzed the government. Given the deadlock, the Captains-Regent avoided convening the council until the mandatory 19 September regency election to choose their replacements.
this is GDR erasure
GDR is on the map. I assume the stripes mean part of the current country was socialist at some point. Same for South Yemen
May a thousand red flowers bloom!
Very accurate map that knows what socialism is
According to most of the chuds here Canada should be red
Grenada? So threateningly Marxist the US had to invade?
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
