Lines: 6 Socialism seems to work in Israel. Socialism also works in monasteries. The key point is that Socialism can work when the people involved have a compelling common interest and/or personal devotion to a cause. Note that in both cases the people are there voluntarily and can leave at any time. Socialism would probably NOT work in a culturally diverse society or when it is forced upon people. Kindly compare apples with apples please.
