The following is a list of countries whose constitutions make
references to socialism, but do not subscribe to Marxist-Leninist
ideology:

Current

    * Bangladesh People's Republic of Bangladesh (Gônoprojatontri
Bangladesh) (retains constitutional references to socialism)

    Now THERE is a success story.

    * Egypt Arab Republic of Egypt (Gumhuriyyet Ma?r el-?Arabiyyah)
(retains constitutional references to socialism)

    But isn't socialist at all.

    * Guyana Cooperative Republic of Guyana (retains constitutional
references to socialism)

    Not socialist either.

    * India Republic of India (retains constitutional references to
socialism)

    About as FAR from Socialism as you can get. BOLLYWOOD!

    * Libya Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya

    Another GREAT success story and bastion of democracy.

    * ****tugal ****tuguese Republic (República ****tuguesa) (retains
constitutional references to socialism)

    But isn't socialist.

    * Sri Lanka Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (retains
constitutional references to socialism)

    <yawn>

    * Syria Syrian Arab Republic (de facto single-party state ruled by
the Ba'ath Party, retains constitutional references to socialism)

    NATIONAL SOCIALISM - - - -  FASCIST!

    * Tanzania United Republic of Tanzania (retains constitutional
references to socialism)

    And look how good THEY are doing.

    * Venezuela Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (República
Bolivariana de Venezuela) (informal)

    Democracy? Venezuela is HEADED to socialism. AND a dictator****p. 
Remember, despite the recent "****" election that Hoooogo lost, he has 
appointed himself PRESIDENT FOR LIFE! Sure sounds like a dictator to me.

    The request was to show me ONE "true socialist state" that was 
successful and NOT a dictator****p. You missed the target by a mile.
