Socialism and Communism are good structures for a family household. Everyone in the family is working to keep that family thriving. Some are doing more work, while others are doing less work, but everyone is contributing as much as they can to the family, and it benefits everyone in the family. This is great, but it's an adopted system that only works as long as everyone has equal stake in goals, and it's not a forced system, but an accepted system due to equally beneficial results.
Communism and Socialism is great for those that want it and when everyone inside of those systems accept it and are contempt with their lot in life - You just can't force it on those that don't want it, or else the system will not work. You absolutely need 100% of the people accepting, utilizing the system, and honoring the system structure, or else it will not work.
The only system that currently works is the Capitalist system, because the structure is honest, sincere, and does not require others to follow specific rules for it to work. Capitalism is a system that evolves, molds, and adapts to the problems that are thrown at it where all rules can be broken, whereas Communism and Socialism require everyone following the rules and if they are broken, it places a detriment to the structure as a whole - Like a pyramid on it's point, it is very easy to sway in many directions., perhaps even topple.

I meant a literal, small, mother-father family, yet that is still not actual Socialism or Communism.
