Is this a sensible counter argument? (lemmygrad.ml)

I recently had a discussion with someone about socialism etc... I thought about countering the argument that socialism doesn't work, because it has failed once. I came up with: "Well, the first French revolution failed, and the people still continued establishing a second bourgeois democratic republic. So why should we stop to create a second socialist republic, just because the first attempt failed / has issues?"

Does this argument make any sense, or is this incomparable (I know it kind of is, but still)?

Also, isn't it a core value of Marxism-Leninism to learn from past failed policies and politics, and correct them in the future?
