Communist States
The five countries that are usually referred to as Communist (a type of Socialism) are:
There are disputes as to whether or not certain of these states are actually socialist in action or only name. For example:
China is not Socialist.. anymore. It is ruled by a communist party, without a communist ideology. Ever read the book Animal Farm? Perfect example of what is happening in China I imagine. Many are rich, most are poor. Living standards are poor and there is no social welfare anywhere. People, this is not Socialism at all.
Socialist States
Cuba is still socialist despite its decline similar to North Koreas after the collapse of the USSR. When people think of these countries they think of Communism but that's not further from the truth, communism and socialism are the exact opposites. So, the answer is if you want to know countries that call themselves Socialist or Communist then here you go.
There were also many historical countries in Africa or Asia that were socialist at different periods, such as Algeria, Angola, Afghanistan, Yemen, Cambodia, etc.
Socialism in Other Countries
In the modern world many countries have Socialist tendencies when it comes to the welfare of its citizens. Socialism defends the rights of the workers and the underprivileged against larger corporations and more conservative ideologues. In this way, it gives a voice and a power to those who otherwise would have no mechanism to fight for their rights. Socialists have largely been responsible for the establishment of labor standards, the creation and designation of national treasures, improving healthcare and access to medicine, and shifting the tax burden from a regressive tax on individuals to a progressive tax that targets corporations.
Countries that have exhibited forms of Socialism include (among others):
Which is the case for no countries in current society.
So the answer to your question is NONE.
(Some would argue that the U.S. is well on its way to being/already is socialist.)
There never has been a Socialist country, nor could there be. Socialism (a classless stateless society based on production for use) will have to exist at a global level.
There are no Socialist countries, nor can there be. Socialism is a classless moneyless society with no rulers, and will have to operate on a global basis.
