What would happen if you give a bunch of bananas to a bunch of monkeys? (work, socialism)

I want to conduct an experiment in which I give a bunch of bananas to a bunch of monkeys. The outcome would be very revealing.

If there are 10 bananas and 10 monkeys and they share equally, then communism works. If we make sure nobody goes hungry while some monkeys enjoy a better life, then socialism works. If some of them monopolize the bananas, making the rest work for them, then capitalism works.

The point of the game is nobody goes hungry while they enjoy a happy social life. They can groom all they want but violence is strictly controlled.

If they were hungry, they'd eat it.

Monkeys share, probably better than people do.

1 trillion monkeys typing for 1 year will come-up with the works of both Shakespeare and the Moaning-Lisa.

If you want your banana you can keep your banana.
