This is a vital point. Of course, some would say that a) capitalism has never been put into practice either, and b) no social theory of that kind has really ever been executed faithfully -- it may be impossible.

I completely agree with you. Of course, when making this argument, you have to keep in mind that many people view socialism as "a dictator attempting to use Marxist ideals to convert the masses." Not everyone sees clear to socialism in its pure form (and perhaps rightly so, since history and pragmatism might obscure that view). But I'm with you.
