Don't forget Mexico, which had the first successful socialist revolution, beginning in 1910. It didn't work out so well, full of assassinations, military coups, corruption and bureaucratic intransigence. Still, it lifted the yoke of feudalism.
When you speak of "scale", are you looking for metrics? What types of measures? Literacy? Health care? Manufacturing capacity? GDP?

 Nguyen, do I understand correctly that you want to measure (scale) socialist history? If so  on what criteria or factors?
Jon, Mexico was not the first. Have you forgotten France?  That was the first socialist revolution whether or not one call is successful.  Yet there is a grand contradiction in your statements re Mexico that it was "successful," then follow that with "It didn't work out so well..."

Is it possible that estrangement as that cause by a fracture language community also occurs in autism?

This article http://nautil.us/issue/30/identity/the-strange-persistence-of-first-languages made me wonder whether someting similar occurs in autism. Here is a quote from that article:
" Losing your native tongue unmoors you not only from your own early life but from the entire culture that shaped you. You lose access to the books, films, stories, and songs that articulate the values and norms that you’ve absorbed. You lose the embrace of an entire community or nation for whom your family’s odd quirks are not quirks all. You lose your context. This disconnection can be devastating. A 2007 study led by Darcy Hallett found that in British Columbian native communities in which fewer than half of the members could converse in their indigenous language, young people killed themselves six times more often than in communities where the majority spoke the native language. In the Midwestern U.S., psychologist Teresa LaFromboise and her colleagues found that American-Indian adolescents who were heavily involved in activities focused on their traditional language and traditions did better at school and had fewer behavior problems than kids who were less connected to their traditional cultures—in fact, cultural connectedness buffered them against adolescent problems more than having a warm and nurturing mother. Such benefits appear to span continents: In 2011, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that aboriginal youth who spoke their traditional language were less likely to binge drink or use illegal drugs.
Why is a heritage language so conducive to well-being? Michael Chandler, one of the authors of the suicide study, emphasizes that a sense of cultural continuity makes people resilient by providing them with a cohesive self-concept. Without that continuity, he warns, aboriginal youth, who have typically experienced plenty of turbulence, are in grave existential danger. They risk losing “the thread that tethers together their past, present, and future.”:
