 | | One of the best-known contemporary utopians of a sweeping cast is the nearly as syncretistic Theodore Roszak. | | | There is a long tradition of self-conscious theorizing behind this utopian homesteading, perhaps most notably (in the 1920s and 1930s) that of Ralph Borsodi, and his followers. | | | Depaternalized versions of his utopianism may have had considerable influence on later British socialism, as his managerial methods in his New Lanark mills may have had on later labor unions. |

| | J. Max Patrick- Iconoclasm, the Complement of Utopianism |
| | All this eventuates, overtly or covertly, in the doctrine that a utopian society is self-defeating. | | | His work’s potency lay in his exposing the intolerable nature of the old society by using an imagined one as a norm whereby to judge the old, and as a standard, measured by which the old was seen to be both destructible and in need of destruction. | | | Bellamy’s genius was to translate this iconoclasm into American terms: the effectiveness of his book lies in his using a new utopian society as one means of contributing to the destruction of an old one. |

| | Like eighteenth-century American and French revolutionaries and religious and secular reformers of the nineteenth century, cyber revolutionaries and pioneers of the late twentieth century have sought to break with the old regime of big corporations and government and bring liberty, equality, and justice to every netizen. | | | In early sources of utopian thought, a metaphysical transformation was needed to enter an ideal place such as Paradise or the City of God; this transformation was achieved through death, intellectual or spiritual transcendence, or otherworldly intervention. | | | The resulting proliferation of assumed identities, online communities, and micronations is reminiscent of the growth of utopian communities in the nineteenth century and again in the 1960s, formed by like-minded individuals disengaging themselves from society and starting life anew. |

| | Jameson's Utopianism |
| | The Utopian is after all the perfect world, the perfect state, that place in the mind where everything and everyone serves and fulfills your every desire. | | | Imagine, if you will, the likelihood of the manager of the Utopian DreamPark sending out invitations to everyone who fits into this category of "formalized" evil, reaching out as it were, bringing them into his circle because his theme park would not be a complete, perfectly round, world without their presence. | | | While all Utopian ideology is anathema to anyone who has fallen victim to its enactment, as native Americans have done to European expansionism, and where Jameson seems to slide off into that sociopathic abyss in the end, it would nevertheless be regrettable to throw every idea he articulates out on the slag-heap of logocentrism. |

| | Utopianism |
| | One possible explanation for this accusation is the conventional idealism/pragmatism dichotomy. The view there is that ideals and principles are things that cloud your judgment, and get in the way of "practical" solutions. If you're an idealist, it must be at the expense of being practical. | | | So there are three major reasons for the charge of utopianism, each failing. The first based on the idealism/pragmatism false dichotomy. The second fails because Objectivism does not need or expect universal moral perfection. And the third fails because even in a free world, there will still be vegetarians. | | | A different accusation of utopianism is that Objectivism requires everyone to act perfectly morally. Utopias are impractical when they can't deal with any failure to live up to the perfect model. They require everyone to be perfectly moral, or the system fails entirely. |
