Depends what your goal was

 From a Maggie's Farm commenter on an article about the "failure" of socialism in Cuba:

[A]ll these government programs that are called "failures" are actually quite successful. The only reason people think they're failures is because they judge the program by [its] stated purpose instead of [its] real purpose, which is to create good-paying jobs for bureaucrats. And, of course, the best way to increase your budget and your staff in a bureaucracy is to fail at your stated purpose.
