The countries that are the most likely to turn ML, according to me
The countries that are the most likely to turn ML, according to me
Belarus: I could see CPB taking over when Lukashenko isn't in charge anymore.
Burkina Faso: Their prime-minister seems to be a communist. Hopefully this means working towards a socialist state.
Cyprus: AKEL is one of the main opposition parties in Cyprus and their candidate for presidency went to the runoff election this year.
Greece: KKE is one of the main opposition parties and they keep growing.
Haiti: There are some revolutionary organisations involved in the protests against the government, maybe they'll succeed.
Swaziland: The CPS is the main opposition to the king's rule.
Taiwan: through reunification with PRC.
What others seem likely to you?
EDIT: I remembered South Africa is a candidate as well, the EFF is getting stronger

Add to this the recent countries supporting Niger in a coup, which includes BF and more importantly, Angola, an already existing ML state.
I think we might see a ML super state crop up in the region with an alliance of ML/socialist african countries in the NW and west of Africa.
While I agree with this, Angola is no longer an ML state, it was changed to social democracy on their 3rd congress in December of 1990. Perhaps it has more revolutionary potential though.
Thanks for the context, I didnt know that; critical support still though.
wasn't the MPLA pressurized into becoming more succdem? thanks to the CIA doing CIA things and forcing a civil war in socialist angola
i feel like once usania falls the MPLA could switch back to their original ML self, as it seems like they only liberalized themselves so that the civil war finally stops
Unlike some political parties which used Marxism-Leninism as a cover to gain support in their national liberation struggles, I certainly hold the belief that the MPLA's was authentic in nature. I think naturally of course given the time period of the change, it was during the fall of the Soviet Union, and like most communist parties ideas were being re-evaluated. There's a trend among many communist parties around the world that have transitioned to social-democratic beliefs because of the perceived failures, and the large wave of reaction that followed. I do think the party structure hasn't changed too much, hypothetically some faction could knock the social democrats out, but given the momentum of the largest opposition party UNITA, it's looking more and more unlikely. I feel like the KPRF is more likely to go "Marxist-Leninist" again before I could imagine the MPLA doing so, but who knows.

Would love to see it.
