The term may refer to:

  • Arab Socialism -
  • Chavismo - Chavismo is considered a quasi-communist ideology, as Hugo Chavez was a self-proclaimed Marxist and Trotskyist, and it also believes on socialist principles, along with a state-led economy. However, it's not considered entirely communist, and it's modern supporters are less economic left.
