The only socialist systems I know of are in Scandinavia and work well, I 
wish we were more like it here.
I am not sure a Communist system has ever successfully been put in place. 
The USSR and China, to quote societies which have claimed to be communist, 
almost immediately turned into dictatorships where the privileged few were 
massively better off than the rest, about as far from communist as you can 
get.
Humans are greedy, selfish and ruthless and any egalitarianism is not 
natural to the species...
IMO
