Yes, the fact that it's failed 100% of the time it's been tried is always the fault of everything else but the ideology itself.

There is no way true socialism works at anything greater than the commune level without a strong central government, which is necessary to redistribute resources at a massive scale. And every single time you give an entity like the federal government such extreme and unquestionable power, it becomes authoritarian. This is exactly what happened in the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, China, North Korea, and every other communist nation ever. And what follows is always a blatant disregard for human rights, brutalization, concentrations of wealth greater among those in power, and economic stagnation.

These are not the results of "Western meddling," or whatever other bullshit guys like averagejoel throw around to dismiss every failure. It's a built-in fatal flaw of the system that ignores that fundamentals of human nature.
