Nice reply, but I was thinking more of something like, "Not like a souffle at all. Millions of people have made souffles, but not once in recorded history has anyone made socialism work". I try to underline this if socialism ever comes up in conversation. Everyone's heard the argument, "it failed because the wrong people were in charge"; the argument is "since it's been tried since thousands of years before it had a name, and nobody has ever been the 'Right People' that made it work. What makes you think you're so special?"
But I don't have a Twitter account or a time machine to go back and answer it.
Then I thought of this one that says it better than I can.
"Socialism- always just one genocide away from perfection".
