==What is Socialism?== 

 ===The USSR=== 
  There Marxist-Leninist beliefs typify socialist communism! They also used it in thieve national name!   

 ===Red China=== 
  It was originally a Maoist state, but the PRC ditched this deviant form of communism for Marxism-Leninism, despite using the term “people‘s republic“ in there national name! The term was also used by Mongolia, East Germany, The Congo (Brazzaville) and Vietnam at various points in their socialist eras.   

 ===Clement Atlee===    
 Clem, as he was known at the time, was a socialist, but not a communist. He created the British  NHS system.  Labour used to sing the Red Flag back then with pride and joy as the party AGM closed in Blackpool every year!   

 ===Nepal=== 
 It elected a Maoist government in 1996, which was removed in 1997 by the king, and has had one since 2008, which exiled the king. 
    

 ===The IRA=== 
 I believe the IRA clamed to be a ‘Socialist’ movement in then late 1970’s!   

 ===Tony Blair=== 
 Both Tony Blair and Gerhard Schroeder have both described them selves and their parties as reformed socialists from time to time in the early 2000’s.   

 ===Algeria, Libya, Iraq and Syria=== 
 Algeria, Libya,  Iraq and Syria been accused of being Islamic Socialist states in then late 1970’s and most of the 1980‘s by various Western sources, such as the CIA, MI5 and Mossad!
