The problem there is the same as that of idealised communism, you're relying on humans to do what they typically don't do. Humans will take for themselves at the cost of communities if they feel they can get away with it, including the ones in government.

Capitalism is literally predicated on "you should take for yourself at any cost" and does everything in its power to limit anything that might bring consequences.
