Definición

  • Socialist societies, commonly referred to as “state socialism,” emerged after World War II in those countries of Europe east of the River Elbe that were liberated from Nazi Germany's occupation by the Soviet Red Army. State socialism has also existed in Asia (in China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and North Korea), Latin America (in Cuba), and Africa (in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Angola), but there is considerable debate whether all of them can really be characterized as socialist.
