This has been going on for years and for years the entire notion of a functioning socialist system in America has been proven to be a farce.
Then show sources.
It’s barely only ever worked in smaller nations with considerably smaller populations.
This inherently contradicts your argument. There is no principle, that has been proven with any math or science, that says the inclusive institutions that make up social democracies elsewhere in the world do not scale to a country the size of the US.
We’ve had numerous social programs over the years and economic regulations that are in line with socialist policies. Medicare, Obama Care, social security, and even things like public drinking fountains are all examples of this. We have laws on the books against monopolies and the government oversees corporate mergers. Unions used to be a powerful force for workers rights. While they are not full collective ownership of the means of the production, they are a step in the right direction and are in the middle of a resurgence thanks to Biden. Our society has already benefited from socialism despite people painstakingly refusing to acknowledge that.
The idea that socialism cannot work in America is an internalized value people pick up from living in our neoliberal society. It has nothing to do with historical, political, or economic facts.

ROFL! Always a manifesto of nonsense from you people.
We’re don’t here.
This article covers the concept of internalizing our society’s flaws as values. I highly recommend you read it.

Also, I recommend Robert Reich’s youtube channel. It should give you the context to reevaluate assumptions about society.
And if you need someone spicier then there is always Vaush.
