Nicaragua and Venezuela

I'm no expert in this topic, but why aren't Nicaragua and Venezuela not included despite being called socialist in their infoboxes? StrawWord298944 (talk) 18:05, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The short answer is this article is for the term as it is defined and used by communists specifically. When a communist talks about a "socialist state", they're talking about one of the steps towards a communist state (full communism). When a non-communist talks about a "socialist state", the definition will vary. Yue🌙 03:37, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
