No, I fear that most Americans are lazy and would take advantage of the benefits. I wish that society was more equal, but people will not work for abstract ideas like the benefit of society or even their community. Some would but it would be the same ones who work now under capitalism so the ending benefit would be the same. People are not naturally good, they are naturally selfish, lazy and mean. Society works to remedy this. The current system is the best we should only work to improve it through more access to education and a culture that does not reward hedonism. Also, socialists always tell me to hate my employer like they would be such a better employer. The new boss would look just like the old boss. The peculiarness of the human situation seems to say that a mix of socialism and capitalism is the best answer. The system needs to reward responsibility and hard work. Honestly the mass of Americans are not as smart as Europeans and have an unfortunate tendency towards criminal and sociopath behavior.

Socialism did not play a role in the Pilgrims' first year in America. The Pilgrims were a group of religious separatists who arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. They established a communal system of agriculture, where each person worked for the benefit of the entire community. However, this system of communal work resembled more of a religious and communal practice rather than a political ideology like socialism.

There would be issues with forming your own ideas in this system. There would be no opinions allowed and everyone would need to think the same for it to work.
It sucks. It creates bad quality products because there's no motivation to work (since the government shells out the money equally to everyone). Its pretty simple to see that socialism dosen't work........The left just denies it.
Cuba holds that distinction.
KARL MARX had the view that history was inexorably trending to communism and that capitalism would improve to socialism and socialism would improve to communism.
Not at all. The Pilgrims tried it out in America in the 1620's and abandoned the concept since it didn't work for them. Marx and Engles came up with scientific socialism (aka Marxism) in 1848 in The Communist Manifesto.
Disadvantages of socialism in Italy or elsewhere include the fact that it often does not work well for the people. While it should help them, the government often does not have the resources to make it work.
I think similar to the way the felt about communism
