Countries that have been socialist
No love for Chile? Couped too soon?
Definitely couped way too soon.
Seems explicitly Marxist Leninist (though it includes Yugoslavia but they were ostensibly Marxist Leninist prior to their split with the USSR). Otherwise Chile, Venezuela and many others would be on the map.

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

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?
Map kinda sucks ngl. Not even Burkina faso? Or a number of other countries.
What about San Marino? It was so socialist the US had to coup them
