Depends on what to call “socialism.” In my opinion, socialism has nothing to do with planned economy or government in general; it’s mode of production in which means of production owned by workers, who work using this means. It means that you can have socialist company in a capitalist state. It can be, for example, cooperative of workers (In Spain there is corporation Mondragon, it is federation of workers cooperatives). Or in Huawei there are “virtual share” which is given to every employee, so they technically own part of their company.

In modern Burkina-Faso there is interesting initiative, it’s something called “Communal Entreprenership.” Popular shareholding or something like that.

Communal entreprenership means that each community comes together to decide on what projects they want for themselves. They know their priorities better than anybody else. So, once they’ve identified the issues they want to solve, then they drawn the budget and each community member will put in money he can afford. You can sell cows, goats, sheep, chicken what have you, and bring the money. That money will amount to a specific number of shares you will hold in the projects.

Agency for the Promotion of Communal Entrepenership (APCE) is doing this and they already building tomato processing plants in Bobo Diolasso, 60000 people is funding this project. Sounds pretty socialist to me

But of course I can’t ignore that historically state capitalism with big government interference in the economy is called by everybody “socialism.” Have nothing to say against it, state capitalism is obviously better for the people than unregulated market capitalism. In my opinion, any state can take this route, no revolution required (revolution is establishment of a different sistem, in this case it’s the same sistem - capitalism - but more state in it, up to the planned economy)

In short: Yes, Burkina-Faso will (like any country on Earth eventually)
