Have you read any of the writings of Karl Marx?
He muses on that subject at great length.
In his book "The Communist Manifesto"
he ponders over the trappings of capitalism and speaks to the tone that capitalism will bring about it's own destruction.
I am paraphrasing , it has been at least twenty years since I read any of his works.
I like the idea though.
Marxist Bolsheviks, who later became the communist leaders of U.S.S.R, used his phrase;
"From each according to his abilities,
To each according to his needs."

It has been proven to not work without stringent enforcement,
(Former USSR and also see whats happening in China and Cuba)
Human nature won't allow it.
Why should I work like a dog,because I can.
and receive little, because I don't need.
While
You work very little, because you can't.
and receive a lot, because you need.

Again, I like that type of mind set,(It is the basis for many of the futuristic worlds in Sci-Fi) humans just aren't wired that way intellectually or emotionally or rationally.

I try to live that way now.
I don't lock my doors, whats mine is yours. If someone were to come and take my stuff, which is minimalistic at best, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. You needed it more than me.
"Only after you free yourself from the trappings of this world can you be truly free." (i can't remember who said it)

To answer your question,
I believe
Yes.
We humans have to grow up first.
