Many L's have been taken, and compromises made, but at least socialism still has a foothold in those places. It will take a few more decades to see how that will translate to a global effect. It does seems that as imperialist structures are slowly chipped away at and weakend, there may be a bit of room for democratic socialist movements (Bolivia?), but it surely will take more than just that to usher in a global socialist economy of any kind.
