@antonbeloborodov5130 Depends what you call a "Socialistic state". There were never 10 really socialistic states, and most countries that were Socialist, were happier when they were Socialist. Cuba, the Soviet Union, and Venezuela were all prosperous and happy for a good length of time. Spain, Chile, and Nicaragua all voted in Socialist parties and were all better off for it. Vietnam were much happier under a Socialist government than they ever were under the French or the Capitalist dictatorship in the South.
While not strictly Socialist, Scandinavia are "socialistic" and they are happy and prosperous. The most progressive Central African countries were Socialist.
You need to understand what Socialism is and why people want it. Every country that became socialist all had a reason to do so. They all lived under tyrants and all had better lives under Socialism. No Socialist country has had it easy, they nearly all came from wars and famines, so hardly got dealt a good hand to begin with, and then they need to face inevitable US intervention, so they don't get the help from other countries like everyone else does.
And they keep getting a shit deal on what land they get. East Germany was all mines and factories and West Germany was all farms, so guess who gets more food? North Korea is all mountains and snow, south Korea get lakes and farms. And no matter where the country is, the US will always put trade embargoes on them and try to starve them out. They will take away their oil and their allies, they will attempt to assassinate their leaders and fund and train terrorists to fight them, they may even just invade the country and massacre the people and poison their farms.

@cashflagg9728 Nothing gets in the way of Capitalism, they just ride it. Corruption is very capitalist, so when a capitalist is corrupt they are still a capitalist, a a communist is corrupt, they are no longer communist.
Capitalism has put billions into poverty, has greatly stifled the scientific community, there are no real liberties in Capitalist countries (tell that to America, with currently the largest prison population to have ever existed on Earth at any point in time), Socialism does not create famines, bad weather and crop failure creates famines.
People should ask for breadlines rather than starve like all of the homeless veterans that live on the streets of the US. The promise basic human rights and often deliver on their promises, corrupt capitalists and US intervention always ruins Socialism. It's called "trial and error", no two Socialist countries collapsed the same way, and most of the time they collapse has nothing to do with Socialism. Far far more Capitalist countries have failed and collapsed over the years than Socialist ones.
