Orwell was opposed to the USSR when he realized their imperialism, not when he realized that socialism was a bad idea.

In any case, there are living examples of socialism right now. They are small in scale, but seem to be better than capitalism. Millennial socialism is also much closer to the socialism of George Orwell in any case, because it is much more libertarian than that of the 1900s.

Modern experiments would be Rojava, the Zapatistas, and so on.

Venezuela never got even close to socialism due to frankly stupid economic policy, their share of private enterprise was even higher than France, and Cuba while much better than comparable South American states is not modern, nor an experiment.
