It would work in North Dakota for one really good reason. No-one wants to live there... too freaking cold.

I hear Switzerland is similar.

No mountains in North Dakota, though

Gene, the population count of the entire nation of Switzerland is only a bit
more than twice that of the metro phoenix, area.  Give me  a small population of
blonde haired, blued eyed Lutherans; a war chest (like they had after WWII);
secret banking for the world's richest men, and, I think I could stick them all
in North Dakota, and promise good times for sixty years, regardless of political
philosophy. 
 
 If you do some reading about the Swiss, though, you'll see that they are not
happy that their immigrant workers are breeding at such a fast rate. 
Homogeneity allows for short term cultural experiments that could never work in
a heterogeneous society.........bobf

Bill, you have a great understanding of Socialism..  There are many 
reasons that it doesn't work,=2

remains it doesn't.  And, it will always, as it's on function, 
eventually lead to ceratin levels of oppression and tyranny.

In very homogeneous societies, in ,you can institute socialistic 
programs that will work until the population begins to decline or 
populations of immigrants increase.  But, even , at it's best, what 
does it get you.  Real quick, without using Google, other than 
pocketknives, and watches; what do the Swiss produce?

Happiness. Contentment. Satisfaction with life.
