Sure they have, just as communism has been done right. They are small in scope and conform to the needs and resources of the locality.
We practice pure communism in our household. Baby gets everything she needs taken care of. All assets go into a shared pool. Those needing more get more, those needing less get less.
I'd recommend neither as a complete solution at a national level. Communism is increasingly dysfunctional as the unit size extends beyond a single family. Probably completely dysfunctional beyond a few hundred people.
