There is no way of implementing socialism properly. In the economy, once you decide the means of production belong to everybody, they belong to nobody in particular, the result being that nobody gives a damn. There's always someone you can lay the blame for whatver it is that's not working. It's human nature. That's collective responsibility.
The answer lies in individual responsibility. As you say with the individual contracts - if it's my responsibility/ reputation/ pay/ future at stake, I will do my best.

Yep, I am aware of that and so is Larken. Yet it is common for people to argue "That wasn't true socialism" without expanding upon it, or showing how they can guarantee it won't be the case with their proposed new attempt of it.
I do think it is likely they don't offer anything because they don't have a solution.
I actually don't believe there is one. Good ideas do not require force.
The proof of what you claim @ladyrebecca is embodied in the history of colonial America. It wasn't until property rights where established that the first colonies lasted through the winter. Very nice comment that adds value to the post.
