What country whose government would not be considered socialist or communist, but many of its citizens have strong support for socialism or communism?
Kerala in India has CPI Marxist in power though they are more socdem than socialist.

Yes. I don’t dislike them or anything because them being socdem and forming questionable alliances is more a result of the communist movement of India being disjointed and weak. But CPI(M) is still worth mentioning because they have achieved things like almost 100% literacy rate, which is in stark contrast to the rest of the country.
Definitely Angola and Nepal.
Almost imperialized country. The people here speak about communism and socialism and they conflate it to marxism. Listen how ksynwa considers CPI a social democrat party, without even knowing what they are talking about.
If you want to understand the nuance to countries socialist movements, you should check out Le Monde Diplomatique https://mondediplo.com/
They do country deep dives every month that talk about the socialist movements in certain countries.
But there’s a lot outside of the English speaking world. Consider that anti-socialist sentiment mainly derives from the USA, which uses English media to reinforce the dogma.
Some examples though; Belarus, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Denmark, Brazil, and Ecuador all have strong socialist movements. Quebec, Scotland, and Catalan too if you consider them countries.

Interesting, I didn’t know they were becoming more neoliberal, that’s a shame. At least they let Morales stay in exile there during the coup.

I imagine it’s related to World Bank/IMF debt forgiveness. Can’t wait for those institutions to die.
