I really think that there are many factors, many different causes, that are really impediments for socialism and for the more advance type of socialism which is anarcho-communism in the far future. A very powerful impediment is fear, another impediment is lazyness in the great majority of poor people, low will power (lots of will power is required to overthrow capitalist states) and another impediment for socialist states and the more advanced anarchist communism is conformism. Most poor people of this world are too conformist, and there are many many many more factors like low reading skills, low reading habits in the masses.
Another great impediment and great enemy of socialist workers states and anarchist communist societies is the rise of social-democratic parties. Social Democratic parties which are in favor of reformist capitalism have more economic power, to do propaganda and win the hearts and souls of the masses, than ultra-leftist radical parties. Most ultra-leftist radicalized marxist parties in favor of authentic socialism are very weak, very poor, literally unable to become loved and supported by poor people.
Poor people hate capitalism and would prefer socialist parties. But we have to bre realists. The only socialist workers parties visible in this world are the social-democratic parties. The authentic ultra-leftist socialist parties are hidden and too underground, and that's why in USA poor americans are still supporting The Democratic Party, in France The Socialist Party and in many other countries social-democratic parties
But I think you are wrong in blaming human nature. Because I think that the great impediment for the existance of pure workers states and the existance of the more advanced phase (anarcho-communism) is all the things I've said here and many many more.
But a very powerful real cause of why there are no authentic leftist governments in this world like the Paris Commune is that authentic leftist parties in favor of a Paris Commune system (radical true socialism) is the existance of social-democratic parties with lots of propaganda power, lots of economic power and that authentic ultra-leftist parties in favor of paris commune systems are very very weak, totally underground and very unknown to the majority of people of this world.
That's like if you are very hungry and you travel to any city in America, the first thing you will think about is eating at a Mcdonalds and a place that is known. Because most people are scared of the unknown and radical leftist parties in favor of true socialism like the paris commune are totally unknown in America
But the egocentric human nature of most people, is not really an impediment for socialism

As you know, I used to be an anarchist-communist, but the last time since I posted on here, I learned communism and anarchism are just impossible attempts that will only result in deluded people ruining everything for the workers, funny enough with the fact that they always claim to care about them "suffering" under capitalism, since I've been going to non-indoctrinated forums.
All your "theories" are problematic, like the communist "Dictatorship of the Proletariat". The theory that any government whatsoever could abolish all it's power, NO ONE has even heard of a government giving up their authority and abolishing the state BECAUSE it's not part of human nature to, AS WHAT HAS BEEN PROVEN UNDER WHAT HAPPENED UNDER THE SOVIET UNION, CUBA, CAMBODIA, NORTH KOREA, CHINA, POLAND, YUGOSLAVIA, ETC ETC ETC ETC.
Another problematic feature of human nature that both of you communists and anarchists ignore is people being too lazy to work. What do your communist, Marxist, anarchist, "left communists" or "Hoxhaists" like what do those even mean to people who don't have an obsession with obscure "theoritical errors" in failed projects that are the errors themselves, whatever you want to call them, ist-theorists even do when they are confronted with that fact? Hope that us non-communist people would forget about their flawed-from-the-ground plans that would only result in disaster? Even past the "transition" or "socialism stage", what would keep ALL people "happily working for the betterment of mankind" as I have heard from communists so many times? The people in many Marxist countries couldn't do it even with force and torture and terror in many cases! And even if some of you respond like "We don't force labor people" then WHAT is stopping a majority of people to not work at all? How is it any encouraging that lazy people benefit from the non lazy people's labor?
The countless nations that I have listed couldn't even achieve communism for one second. The thing that I notice from many communists and anarchists is their annoying usage of terms like "ruling class" to the so-evil "bourgeoisie" when they can't even deal with the fact that they were the LITERAL ruling class too, and that THEY FAILED BIG, only to do worse than the capitalism that preceded them, and they were even more powerful than the corporations!
Leftism in practice, theory, whatever you want to say, it just has never been possible, at all, so how do you people still praise any movement that you think will lead to your own utopia with the faults that are painfully obvious to countless workers who have lived under nations with this utopia in agenda? HOW?
