I'd like to bring this up since it seems no one else has yet. Please note that I don't mean to support either side of the argument here. There used to be multiple small villages called kibbutzim that used a socialist-like (not communist) system in the early days of the State of Israel. (A little tie-in with the Crusades there too)  They functioned fairly well in the State's early days, when survival was at stake constantly, though as Israel became more prosperous, people began to want private property. There are now only a few true kibbutzim left in Israel, (most are now for tourists) though I thought I should bring this up anyways, in order to provide an example of a small-scale socialist-ish system.
