In every inception?
Seems to me things like social security, universal healthcare are quite successful in their inceptions in most european nations and canada.
It's only when politicians think bussinesses can run public institutions when things start falling apart.
Look at Brazil, they have a socialist party in power right now and they are experiencing record growth.
Do you ignore Sweden, Norway and Finland just to prove your theories?
Stalinist/Lenin/maoist communist governments are only one representation of socialist theory.
In a true socialist eyes, they betray the idea of communism(like others here have already stated).
