Yes, Utopian Socialism. The topic of our times. I'd say more about it here, but I'd rather say something about it on the Facebook group I started just today that is dedicated to the topic. So...anyway...if you're the type who likes to prattle on endlessly about the ins and outs of Utopian Socialism (and I know you are), then I encourage you to join my sparkly new Facebook group. I hope to turn it into Facebook's premier group on the topic...which shouldn't be too hard as there aren't any others.

Sorry for the shameless plug.
What a curious oxymoron you are at times. Rather than put your energy into pointless Facebook pages and generating more income for the corporate giants who feed off of the personal information and advertising, why don’t you resign from your job, sell up your home and go start up one of these committees and show the world how it’s done?
Originally posted by @mott-the-hoople of course it is related. You must not know the Amish way of life.
Unlike the Hutterites, who live communally and hold all goods in common, the Amish do not. The Amish maintain private ownership of property and businesses. There is a difference between having a tight-knit community and living communally.

I'm up to seven members. Join now and you could be amongst my first twelve disciples.

Because Utopian Socialists do not aim to seize state power, they typically manage to avoid the wrath of the state. Altering the composition of society gradually from the bottom-up gives the state no crisis moment to lash out against.

Well as long as you don't create a pot of money they should leave you alone.
However, if you do.......the cancer follows the blood supply and will engulf you.

To use the Hutterites again as a rough example, there are 45,000 Hutterites, orgainized into 462 colonies, throughout the western US and Canada. That must be worth quite a bit, but their mode of life makes them more or less impervious to all but the most egregious abuses of state or corporate power.

Sorry, I'm more of a Libertarian Socialist and regard such a group as schismatics. I bet most of the people in it supported the the Judean People's Front rather than the true revolutionaries of the The People's Front of Judea.
