Oh, I think you're right but it's one of the smaller reasons why it doesn't work. The biggest reason socialism doesn't work is because once people discover that there is no monetary incentive to work HARD, most choose to do only as much as they have to do to avoid punishment. Under socialism, only true believers and those who love their work put in the extra effort it takes for a society to prosper, and there just aren't enough of those people to carry the majority.
