Well, it was attempted in Soviet Russia and in China... same thing happened both times, and frankly, if you look at how Communism is SUPPOSED to work, it's obvious where it'd be impossible.

That is, it involves mass distribution according to government mandates. There is ALWAYS going to be strong incentives to fudge the results in your own favor, when in that position, and there isn't much in the way of checks and balances that could dissuade that incentive. The system is, by necessity, too centralized, and requires too much central power to function without becoming a fascist state.
