We're so unimaginably far off from that point it's ridiculous to speculate over.
The point is that we should be focused on policies that help the working class, not winning academic discussions over which country is socialist or which country is good. Delivering something material for the working class is the best way to get them to listen to you about socialism, anyway.
But she's not saying that. She's not even talking about socialism -- she's talking about stuff like Medicare for All.
The question was a bad-faith attempt to suck her into a debate about foreign countries most people in America know nothing about; it's a derailment tactic. It's good she didn't take the bait. If you talk about universal healthcare -- and overwhelmingly popular policy -- people listen. If you talk about the Soviet Union (at least in this context) people tune out.
