Can you give me an example of a purely socialist country that didn't slip into poverty, oligarchy or dictatorship?

nope. I'm not saying that communism is practicable at present. I actually don't think it is.

I think, like democracy at vast geographic scales, technological progress could make democratic socialism possible where it once wasn't.

There is no such thing. You can't just make stuff up. Democratic Capitalism, ok. Socialism is, BY ITS NATURE, not democratic.

um. Yes there is? There are many democratic socialist parties. Democratic socialism = gov't owns everything, but ppl vote on all decisions.

It doesn't! Largely because until smartphones it was completely impractical to have ppl voting all the time.

Liberal democratic ideology preceded liberal democracy, obviously. Locke came before Jefferson, lol.

*Shrug* It's all white dudes fapping to large-scale social fantasies rather than helping real people in the here and now.

But I'm saying a lot of them ARE helping people in the here and now AND having large scale social fantasies.
