I think this is true, but id add that most socialist societies we have seen have been awful. Lots of corruption and poverty. Turns out whichever system you have there will be evil scumbags seeking to self-enrich.

Thats not to say it couldn't work, but that there are no shining examples of success and lots of examples of failure.
