It will work once society achieves industrial automation and the people will ascend to the new levels of morality (no greed, no thirst for power etc.), which is highly unlikely in a near future perspective. Socialism on other hand is quite achievable, it's just businesses that are not interested in implementing social reforms like free healthcare or affordable homes since it will negatively affect their financial indicators

Even socialists aren’t interested socialism. Nothing is stopping them from running their businesses in such a way. It’s just a brand people where to show others how good of a person they are

There are actually many many barriers to running a business on socialist principals in a capitalist economy. The biggest being the acquisition of capital.
