Can we fully achieve socialism in one generation? ?

Update:

Socialism is social organizational structure which advocates that the means of production should be owned by the workers. 

Update 2:

Jeffrey: These are false lies and propaganda, with no basis in reality. Socialism can work and be successful, given the right conditions to prevent failure. What is needed is democracy and the development of a Workers World inside the state to fully achieve these means.

    hopefully, you can't achieve it ever.

    Yeah, then we will be just like Venezuela where people are killing zoo animals in order to keep from starving. https://share.america.gov/under-maduro-nearly-all-...

    Socialism generally involves state control of the means of production.  Interesting that just about all of our state-run programs, such as Social Security, the Post Office, and Amtrak, all run financial deficits.  Not exactly evidence for the wisdom of moving towards state control of all the means of production...

    No.  Even countries normally thought of as "socialist" aren't COMPLETELY socialist.  What would be nice if there wasn't such a wage discrepancy between CEOs of large companies and "regular" workers.  Higher-ups SHOULD get paid more, but $3,000,000/yr vs $40,000/yr is ridiculous.

    We have had several generations of creeping socialism.  Seems like there is a long way to go in just one more generation. Genetic evolution is slow, so is social evolution

    Looking back to 1948 when America promised equality with a guaranteed minimum income even if you got no job, I'd say you can but smirk instead.

    Define "Socialism".

    A lot of people seem to not even know what it means.
