It would work in a perfect world. The problem is that greed is a factor. The principle is sound. People are not.

I could see it working in small communities or villages with less than 200 people.

In a country? Not a single chance.

Again, greed is the main factor of why it won't. Every time communism has been tried there was one theme that was present when it failed: a few power hungry greedy elitists that didn't give a fuck what happened to the people under them.
