The problem with socialist enonomic regimes is that the micro level motivations are not compatible with the macro level goals. Hard work and innovation are not rewarded so the system as a whole suffers. This is a fundamental and fatal flaw.

Ask any South American socialist what went wrong in the 20th C and they will tell you that the CIA and the fascists killed everyone. For a socialist system to survive, it has stay under the radar... but there are plenty of examples of socialism working pretty well - eg: Mondragon, Kerala, The Kurdish PPK, Israeli Kibbutzes. Worker co-ops perform better than capitalist corporations on most metrics, most notably happiness of the workers, but also in terms of productivity - see Virginie Perotin's work. Meanwhile Cuba has a better life-expectancy than America. Chinese communism came out of (and was a product of) a brutal civil-war, and the totalitarianism that resulted was more than enough for it to self-destruct (thought not dissappear) without US help, but other than China can you think of a single socialist country that has not been endlessly attacked by the US, either economically, militarily or by internal destabilization? What I can think of though is non-socialist countries that have been attacked by the US that have wound up as "failed states". You don't have a control-group to back up what you are saying, and meantime I can point to both Mondragon and the work of Virginie Perotin that demonstrate that what you have said about hard work and innovation are not true. You've been lied to.
