The problems socialism faced were not that planning didn't work in the sense that you can't have any plan. That's one of the stupidest memes created and it's pure faggotry. Economic behavior is by its nature the plan of someone, and the central planning system was not weaker in a productive sense than capitalist planning (which was already centralized within the oligarchy anyway). The problems with socialism were political - that there were interests that didn't want such a world to exist, and saw no reason for its continuation. The full story is where you see the ugly side of humanity, but in short, there were too many interested parties that did not want to share with the people deemed unworthy, and the unworthies would resent the political idea. They didn't mind the idea of working cooperatively, until they saw that the cooperation didn't involve them and was set up explicitly to shut them out of society. That was the grand goal of socialism - to eliminate idleness by eliminating those who were made to be idle in whole. It didn't have to be this way and there was an expectation that you shouldn't do that, but in the end, no one made the argument for keeping alive the people who were rejected. It happens that most of the human race was to be rejected or subjugated, and anything that would counter this tendency was destroyed day after day to create the world as we know it. We take for granted that the exterminations will happen, and act as if it is normal or even something positive. It only became apparent when the neoliberals took over in the 1970s, but it had always been the plan and there were many people trying to warn you what this would be. Rather than heed that warning and try to stop it, the people who saw this death as a good thing made it effectively illegal for people to defend themselves, while encouraging the predatory.
The world where this didn't happen is very unlikely in hindsight, but if you weren't fully aware of the plan, it was plausible to believe there was something after going through all of this. It was all a lie, and we're made to live with the consequences of it for the forseeable future. Ultimately, it became impossible to speak of any spiritual authority except the authority of eugenics, which destroyed everything else - at least, everything else for us. Those in the group selected to live do not suffer as you and I do.
