In order to actually trying it we would need to change some basics our communities are based on. (Like implement new monetary system, change the role of the state, etc.)
But discarding an idea on the basis that we don't have means to implement it today is very shortsighted.
Progress is all about leaving prejudices like this behind and actually trying new things. Then we may say "it worked" or "it didn't work".
As of Free Market - all signs point it should work.
It worked in closed communities (like medieval city-countries) up to the point the state intervene.
The problem is that there are more people willing to enslave themselves in exchange for false feeling of security,
than people willing to take care of them by themselves.
There always was. In ancient Rome there were people wanting to sell themselves into slavery (the law forbade it though), so the master would take care of them.
P.S. The Zeitgeist movies are surely eye-openers. But also manipulative, playing on emotions. One should follow, and investigate things they mention oneself.
