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.

of course it is related. You must not know the Amish way of life.
Originally posted by @whodeyBecause 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.
At what point do the corporate giants condemn you to die on a cross?
Originally posted by @rwingettWell 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.
Originally posted by @whodeyTo 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.
