The problem with those transitory step countries is that it has a ruling class with very different class interests and the same money funneling just like in a capitalist state which basically guarantees that they will never be socialist.
You see no difference in a government made to be a mediating entity between private interests where the source of power lies, and a government that's self interested and is where power lies? You see nothing but a flattened "they both did taxes and the leadership class has privileges"?
No, taxes are quite helpful to maintain public infrastructure for example. What I'm saying is that every time one of those transitory governments have popped up the leadership ends up ruling the population with an iron fist and horrible corruption that has benefitted mostly the ruling party and rarely anyone else. Pretty much exactly like a capitalist state but with gulags and no voting.
Gulags
Cue laugh track
