What have socialism done to any society except make it worse and even destroy them?

Once the markets get freer, countries get richer and more prosper. Whenever government increases societies goes to shit. This happens over and over and over again throughout history, and yet people still seems to want to try it :D

Wheras capitalism and pure free markets and NO government has never been tried in the western world before, but every time we take a step towards it everyone gets richer. But still people are like naahh..lets try socialism but with a twist. lol
