| Well, if everyone in it is for everyone, and it's all nice...then yeah, socialism works. But if everyone is perfect then just about everything else works too, capitalism, despotism, etc. And socialism gets messed up pretty quick as soon as you have a few corrupt a**holes, whereas it takes quite a few more to mess a democracy up.
# of a**holes required to absolutely screw up a government:
Democracy: > 30% of total population
Socialism: 2-5%
Despot/Dictator: 1 person
At least IMO.
