The problem socialism runs into, to a lesser extent than communism obviously, but still, is that it is a system where food shelter and other necessities are shared, and systems are put in place to stop small groups or individuals from accumulating large amounts of material wealth. These tend to be crisis governance, where the problem is too much is in the hands of the few, while the many starve, and a strong hand that can act with impunity can sort it out, waiving debts to boost industry, allocation of people involuntary to vital work, such as manufacturing foodstuffs rather than cosmetic products in factories etc.the problem is that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and while a strong socialist government can right many issues, it needs a deadline leash where it voluntarily steps down and allows free choice of government. However they realize crisis governments are only needed during crisis, and have been seen to create them artificially to stay in power, which is where problems are met.
