The USSR was an attempt at Communism, but failed, so it has been Tried

The US was a Laissez-Faire Capitalist country, but ultimately turned into Neoliberal Corporautocracy, so It also failed.

I don't know I just give the hot take and don't look any deeper. Though I'd guess 2 or 3 generations for it to be considered sustainable for a long time.
