Cuba, Vietnam, Allende's Chile perhaps, but it's not like any are perfect. There's a wide range of socialist approaches used in different countries around the world though.

Moderate socialist governments effectively weren't allowed to exist, the US sponsored fascist coups and did whatever they could to remove them. So the ones that were able to survive had to be more extreme, autocratic, and isolationist.
