Microcode Solutions is one of those companies who I never take seriously until they have product on the shelf.

Oh, I agree with you, but that's "if".  A lot would need to happen first before that "if" becomes reality, and considering Microcode's long standing record in promising more than they usually deliver it's pointless speculating at this stage.

Still, we can but dream!

Been doing that for more years that I care to remember now, and all too often they turned into nightmares (my avatar being a clue to one such example).

I've grown wary of dreams.

Depends what you mean by 'work'.

I think he meant what he said: it wouldn't work according to the ideals.  In that sense I agree. You'd need to eradicate greed and self-interest from human nature first, and that would take more than just a change of government.

But like you said, this is off-topic here.

Your eulogy to the wonders of capitalism don't have any more connection to reality than the ideals of communism do. Capitalism does not give a toss about the filtering through of wealth or the lowest denominator, as the history of Britain clearly shows. (Or did you think the poverty of the 18th and 19th centuries, with the beggars and debtors prisons were a result of feudalism? Nope, that was capitalism at its purest.)

The simple fact is that pure capitalism doesn't work, and pure communism is unachievable. The old eastern block and the USA are perfect examples of where corruption of both ideals will take you.  Neither is a perfect or even desirable society.
