Sort of. And the exceptions tend to prove the rule, actually.

Oil socialism: If you have a natural resource that can pay for everything your own people might desire, and can pay to import competent foreigners to do the bulk of the productive work, socialism can work. For. A. While.

And what's the cost? Not only will your resource eventually run out, but at the end you will have paid for a massive increase in your population, barely a one of whom has the faintest concept of work, with a ruling class of incredible corruption, and nothing else and nowhere else to turn.

And then you are well and truly fucked.
