I don't think you're understanding me. There's absolutely nothing socialist about western countries. Western countries don't have a "corrupted" version of capitalism, that's just capitalism in action.
Ideologies like Marxism-Leninism are useful because they help us better understand the world, and what we need to do to move onto a better world. Destroying the capitalist state, replacing it with a socialist one, and gradually appropriating and collectivizing all production and distribution is a time-tested method for doing so.
