    Maybe in the anglo sphere, they were very prominent in Europe. In some countries they weren't as prominent UNTIL the 70s.

      Its really the case that by 75 it was in decline everywhere. If anything it came back in the 90s with the pink tide.

        Back where? In Europe they ate shit. In Latin America yeah, they came back for a while. The big succ governments (Olof Palme, Mitterrand, Papandreou etc) came to be around the late 70s and early 80s. Then the USSR fell and the climate completely changed in favor of neoliberalism.

            Spain also mostly succumbed to neoliberalism years ago. So basically just Latin America, where a lot of these leaders were much more radical than what is considered a succ in Europe.
