It's not that the rule is ineffective - if by that you mean "capable of forcing everyone to abide it."
That is incompatible with the rule. The alternative to the rule is what you have now - private property and the inevitability of society collapse, perhaps ending in worldwide nuclear war this time.
Whichever one you like best, it seems to me that the rule will only be followed - and I mean in all circumstances - by those who are really and truly convinced there is a sky fairy watching and keeping tabs on behavior.
Which would you like better as neighbors? Those who observe the Golden Rule, or those who may well be looking for ways to take or encroach upon your stuff, either by law or by force or by fraud or by manipulation or by superior sales skills?
