This is a question I’ve been meaning to ask for a very long time.
Candidates:
- Syria (ruled by Assad of the Ba’athist party, which seems to be a form of Arab Socialism)
- Nicaragua (ruled by a Socialist party, surprised they haven’t went the China route already… but then again they’re within the close proximity of Usonia, so I guess it makes sense)
- Nepal (So many Communist Parties + Already ruled by one, it would be a huge shame if it doesn’t turn Socialist or go that route)
There are likely other countries too that has the potential to turn Socialist/Leftist, like Peru; but I don’t know much about them so I didn’t put them in there. Sorry about that. But anyway, which country do you think will be the next/Sixth AES country?
Assuming that’s true, it’s a reasonable argument. I’d be interested in data showing how much of the PPP-based GDP is state-owned in Venezuela
OECD says 18 of base gdp is state owned enterprise.
18%? If accurate, that’s very low, but it also depends on what aspects of the economy remain privatized (e.g. food production, education, oil extraction, etc.)
