Have you considered living in an intentional community? The main problem I have with most socialist schemes is that at their core they use the force of the state to make sure everyone participates. Why not attack it differently? There are experimental communities all over the country, find one that suits your way of thinking. There is quite a long tradition of this in America. Some are religous, some utopian, some interesting and some nuts. What they don't do is destroy other peoples ways of living on speculation that they have a better idea.
Check out these guys in
Ithaca for instance. Most people would learn to hate community living where everyone gets to vote on what you do, but maybe its for you. Myself, I'm better behaved when I get to choose my interactions with folks outside immediate family. I can be down-right useful to society when allowed to choose, but force me to do something and you get resistance.
