Wrong, it didn't work due to human nature, not the rest of the world being capitalistic.
If there is no money in the society and everything is managed by the government then you don't get the drive to work hard(whats the point if you don't get more money?), if you don't work, why would someone else do the work for you? You also have human need to live better than others around, thus you will always get people exploiting the system... and you get ex-USSR.
The idea just doesn't work on its own, it doesn't matter what the rest of the world uses.
If the original idea of the poster is to barter cows for bread then it doesn't make sense since that's too burdensome and money is easier to handle.
