There is no way to establish clean socialism. Am I supposed to trust politicians that sold out to their donors that they will appoint people smart enough to lead an industry? I've witnessed politicians mostly appointing their friends. If they will not appoint them they are still in charge of what rules those leaders are supposed to follow. To get socialism working you need good people but those aren't easily attracted to those positions. And even then they need to be able to balance resources that can only satisfy the needs of a subset of the society anyway. Usually the self-serving people got into position of making decisions and used that to advance their grasp on power, eventually subverting any attempts at accountability.
