Outside of Europe, in the rest of the world where 85% of the people live, what are examples of successful or meaningful leftist parties?

  The Worker's Party is a center-left party that is currently the ruling party in Brazil. Also, China is nominally a communist country. Vietnam is a communist country.

    In Vietnam, slave labor makes t-shirts sold in American walmarts. Is this successful or meaningful leftism?

      The parent was asking about political parties. In Vietnam, the leftist party runs the country. If "in charge of a politically stable, economically growing country for decades" doesn't meet the definitions of "successful or meaningful" in the context of a political party you're going to have to be more specific.

        More successful than meaningful, like the way China is nominally communist but arguably not meaningfully so, as he mentioned.

    > Worker's Party is a center-left party that is currently the ruling partying Brazil. PT stopped being a left-wing party decades ago. The current vice president was once a presidential candidate and leader of a neoliberal party.
