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.
