I'm not sure how you define a "Marxist society", but if this means an economic system where there's no notion of owning capital to collect economic rent from it, then MAREZ (Zapatistas) would seem to qualify.

To some extent also AANES (Rojava). Although that one is a hybrid economy where co-ops and wage labor small businesses coexist, it's roughly a 80/20 split in favor of the former, although there's no clear line there as some co-ops use wage labor as well. For the most part, this happens because the local councils actively support co-ops with loans, so organizing as one gives you an initial advantage.

There's also a "Marxist-Leninist society" where it is a transitional one to socialism and communism like the USSR and China.

Well, they claimed to have socialism and to be building communism, but Marx himself would hardly approve or consider it "socialism" if comparing notes. There's a reason why Lenin and company were seen as hacks by many Marxists of their time.

But I don't think Walter had that degree of precision in mind when he said "Marxist". It sounded more like a generic label for anti-capitalist left to me, so I went with the broad definition to match that.
