I think it has less to do with human nature being inevitably greedy, and more to do with distributed markets being generally more effective at coordinating necessary resources while also being more efficient in terms of resources. You could probably have a planned economy that took fairly good account of human greed.

Also, the actual failure of the actually-existing Soviet Union was probably partly command economy inefficiency, partly that they generally had a really fucked political system and political culture, a little bit nationalism, and a little bit the US threatening them to the point where they felt they had to increase military spending beyond levels they could actually sustain. I mean, like. It's not like socialism was the only problem in the Soviet Union, and in a lot of ways, it's not like they actually did all that good a job with regards to socialist economic organization.
