I think socialism in any degree fails if there is also anything more than trace levels of corruption in public management and the political system.

The socialism in Venezuela is also of the crazy-left type, not even remotely as in Denmark or Germany.

All government falls over in the face of corruption - and agreed on everything.

If anything, Denmark and Germany (not talking about DDR) have been social market economies at one point but that's a long way to go to socialism.
