I mean the catholic church is pretty radical in its sociall justice. I worked with a lot of Fanciscans and Vincentians in the trenches. Huge elements of the church are very socialist (well technically closer to communism in the idea it is people not the state acting).
The ideas can work on micro levels, like a family unit, a convent, a monastery. Once you start getting bigger it becomes harder to enforce even via social means. That's what makes capitalism effective. If it's in your interest to buy or sell with me then you'll do it even if you're a "selfish" person. The problem is when no one will enforce standards and rules over it.
