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.

Interesting. I like reading about small unique communities tbh.

RE the Crusades debate, I wrote an extensive research paper on this a while back and I'm trying to remember where I put it so that I can get some new sources for you all to consider.
