Conclusion
The socialism bases that all people from the country live a "good life" that is the same for all. But the problem comes when defining what is a "good life" and who defines it.
People have many different perspectives about a good life for them and a single group of persons cant define what is a good life for every one. Because a single concept of a good life wont satisfy all the population.
The first problem the countries face when applying it is when defining the central state of the country.
This is a problem because the selection of the central state have to be people humanly good, and don't be affected by all the power they have in hands. So they don't get corrupted by all the power they have.
