But fine. The Paris Commune while not strictly a socialist state, (it failed to take control of the banks and a number of things Marx criticized) it was a workers state and power was in the hands of the workers. The only reason it failed was it was crushed at the hands of the French imperialists.
Also the Soviet Union during the New Economic Policy under Lenin was a somewhat socialist state his ideas of vanguard of the revolution and dictatorship of the proletariat were being followed. A little known fact is that a market economy of sorts existed during the NEP, particularly among the presents. The problem was that socialism was never suppose to arise in countries like Russia and China, agrarian countries with no proleteriat to speak of. They had no industry and they were poor and backward from years of autocratic rule.
If socialism was to arise Marx predicted it could possibly arise legally in Britian and the USA, and via reveloution in France and Germany. Lenin himself considered Germany to be the true capital of the reveloution, and he felt the reveloution in Russia was only incidental to sparking reveloutions int he rest of the world. Berlin was to be the true center of the socialist movement. Never Moscow.
