We can think of a better system that the USSR or USA.

The USSR was literally the first time socialism has ever been tried. Of course we can improve upon and refine the socialism soviets came up with, using the obvious power of hindsight.

Socialism was never meant to be some static ideal truth dogma, and misrepresenting it that way is a strawman.

I also find it kind of weird to lump both like they are the same thing. The US is the bloodiest empire in the world by far.
