if someone is determined to put a label on me that is what I prefer. Think of the folks that started the Paris Commune or the Kibbutzim in Israel. My answer as to why they didn't work as expected is that we as humans haven't gotten to the point where we accept it (and society is pushing back with their capitalism which makes it doubly hard to go to alternative systems).
