I doubt a true bottom-up socialist society has ever been realized. At least I've never heard of such a society, so any comparison is speculative.

Additionally, the reality of Western crony-capitalism is subsidy and socialism for the wealthy, and free market for the poor. The Western system is "capitalism" in name only. Similarly, no one believes that the Nazis were socialist, etc.
