Yugoslavia did well under Tito. Heck, even the Soviet Union had some significant economic growth until the 1970s. I think the issue with socialists/communists is that they want to implement a new system all at once. Looking back at history, that seems to only lead to dictatorships and a new form of bourgeoisie. A gradual transition from capitalism to something like market socialism would probably work better and wouldn't have the "shock" element in it.
