- Ba'athism - Is considered similar to Communism due to its economics and alliances with communist countries. However, similar to Chavismo, it has become less left-wing over the years, with some of its supporters shifting to Authoritarian Capitalism and State Capitalism.
- 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.
