My point is don’t dismiss or look down on the actions and policies which is what has a direct impact on the people. Also, take into consideration the history of that country and the fact that they were betrayed by the vanguard party(CPSU) until the collapse of the USSR.
Belarus maintaining their socialist system after the chaos of the 90s is not possible under a liberal or under an unprincipled “marxist” that actively supported Glasnost and Peretroiska(Gorbachevs).
That’s my opinion as well when the Communist Party of Belarus becomes the ruling party, then it can be declared a socialist state.
Which is definitely a possibility, considering that about 5% of Belarus’s population is in the Communist Party, and the younger generation may hopefully be exposed to Marxist-Leninist ideas.

I don’t disagree with you on these points. I just think it’s a stretch to claim that a country is socialist / ML without a socialist party in power.

A country is socialist if they have DOTP. I wrote more about it here -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9576137/7219414
