Just because the USSR and the Maoists were terrible monsters, is socialism itself at fault?

Do we blame modern capitalism for the actions of King Leopold II?

We like to say "socialism only works on paper" but I've often seen paper capitalism in the same light. Easy to overlook when you're one of the beneficiaries of the global exploitation, by design.
I suck at history, but there’s probably more instances of capitalism digging a country out of a rut than socialism doing it

But that may just be by virtue of more total countries having tried one versus the other
