A great goal but simply impossible.

1) Humans are conservative by nature, we value what is 'ours' and there will always be a 'THEM and 'US' whether you like it or not.

2) It has failed throughout history

3) It's on the far left of the political spectrum for a reason, just like fascism is on the far right. They are extremely niche ideology that literally has failed every time throughout history.

Hence why a balanced liberal society based off democracy and mild capitalism works best.
People get to vote, veto votes, demonstrate, etc, and capitalism creates a healthy competition for people to strive to better themselves, which in turn betters the community and a society as a whole.

Sounds good on paper but human greed and or envy will test it up from the inside out. I'm hopeful for a universal income system where everyone has the opportunity to you know, not starve while also providing capatalist incentives to contribute.

What makes it a great goal?

It disincentives work as the populous will not pursue higher education or go into high paying, difficult work as there's simply no point. It also requires a ridiculously authoritarian dictatorship to work because of all the basic freedoms you take away.

Socialism in Chile would've worked if the USA didn't destroy the country for the sole purpose of preventing people to see that there's an alternative to capitalism.

For:
Should it succeed, you have an equal and fair society that is unplagued by government control, abusive business, or problematic social class discrepancies because all of those have been done away with. Everyone lives by their needs and people work together to preserve freedom and equality.
Against:
Communist doctrine is highly susceptible to modification, and has historically shown that it's very easy for someone to rise into power after the revolution and completely take control of everyone's lives and cause damage. Furthermore communism is not attainable for the same reason that the assumption that buyers in a market are rational about their purchases is a fallacy: it's unrealistic. In trying to undo social hierarchy and assumes everyone will want to live this way (communism is supposed to be global) and touts itself the most perfect philosophy. Additional criticism is absence of payment and money removes incentive for people to produce, and proves a dubious failure at best, and a power that threatens to destroy the world at worst.
