Socialism itself is a very effective way to live. After all, every functional family operates under a socialist system within the household, where the parents 'do' for the kids and the kids 'do' for the parents and everyone 'does' for the common good of the family as a functional unit. Most North American families are dysfunctional at best and therefore never experience the true value of socialism experienced within the household.
It is when a purely socialistic government system falls victim to corrupt intent that the concept of socialism is given a bad name. So far, all we ever keep seeing is corrupt versions of socialism in the world. But corruption in socialist Russia is really no different than corruption in a democracy such as the USA for example. It is the corrupt intent of those in charge of each respective government that gives socialism and democracy bad raps.[/c]
