![]() ![]() This conception, which considers only events on the European continent, does not notice that the very reason why we have had no war in Europe for decades is the fact that international antagonisms have grown infinitely beyond the narrow confines of the European continent, and that European problems and interests are now fought out on the world seas and in the by-corners of Europe. Only were one suddenly to lose sight of all these happenings and manoeuvres, and to transfer oneself back to the blissful times of the European concert of powers, could one say, for instance, that for forty years we have had uninterrupted peace. At the present stage of development of the world market and of world economy, the conception of Europe as an isolated economic unit is a sterile concoction of the brain.Īnd if the idea of a European union in the economic sense has long been outstripped, this is no less the case in the political sense. First of all there exist within Europe among the capitalist States – and will so long as these exist – the most violent struggles of competition and antagonisms, and secondly the European States can no longer get along economically without the non-European countries. But the idea of Europe as an economic unit contradicts capitalist development in two ways. Citizens have no fear of the outside world. Citizens are truly free to think independently. A figurehead or concept brings the citizens of the society together, but not treated as singular. Utopia seems to be an ideal society that is unable to create.

If they were here to boss us around and steal our money and really inefficiently build the flat places, then we would be set. Most utopian literature follows in the footsteps of Platos example and presents morality and ethics as a primary concern of their ideal societies. You mean to tell me that 300 million people in this country and 7 billion people on the planet would just sit around in their houses and think “Gee, I’d like to go visit Fred, but I can't because there isn’t a flat thing outside for me to drive on, and I don’t know how to build it and the other 300 million or 7 billion people can’t possibly do it because there aren’t any politicians and tax collectors. Platos exploration of a utopian society can be summed up as an examination of the 'good life,' in which morality is fundamentally intertwined with the creation of an ideal state. But since they have waited until the last minute to start working, they are forced to cram an entire semester's work into one night, whether they like it or not.“But who would build the roads if there were no government? They each come from different backgrounds and have pre-existing assumptions about the others, causing them to want to spend as little time working with each other as possible.
