Minimum wage can work for more socialistic leaning countries just perfectly. The problem with America is that it is two sided, and that both sides generally don't get along unless they have common enemy. Actually a lack of minimum wage most likely would work in a socialistic society as well, as they would most likely want everyone to not be poor as a reflection of the society. 

The reason why the minimum wage concept exists, is because of how much labor was abused in the early development of nation. Infact you could look at developing nations to see exactly what that means. 

Concepts like minimum wage, overtime, vacation time, labour laws exist so that no organization can abuse their employees like they have in the past era. 

Add: Also the two sides doesn't necessarily mean Republican vs Democrat or South vs North. It is way more complicated.

No that would not work in a socialist society. You work, you pay taxes, those taxes go to necessary things that are for the good of the country.... health care, schools, infrastructure, helping your less than priviledged families and people. 

If you take away minimum wage in a socialistic country you open it up for faulty business practices and shady business owners. There is a reason wage laws exist. It's to prevent business owners from paying you 50 cents on the hour for the same work someone who gets 20 dollars on the hour to do.
