You believe in creating a society where wealth and resources are distributed equally, leading to a harmonious existence without class struggle or poverty.
Utopian Socialism is a term used to define the first currents of modern socialist thought as exemplified by the work of Henri de Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, and Robert Owen, which inspired Karl Marx and other early socialists. However, visions of imaginary ideal societies, which competed with revolutionary social-democratic movements, were viewed as not being grounded in the material conditions of society and as reactionary.
Utopian Socialism emerged in the early 19th century, a time of great social upheaval and economic change, as a reaction to the injustices and inequalities of…

In what ways do you think a more egalitarian society would impact mental health and happiness?
@9J7DNWP4mos4MO
We would turn into communist Russia and China. Honestly, if you can't be happy with the amazing world of America then there is something wrong.
@9J7DKZN4mos4MO
i dot know what this even means and honestly i don't want anything to do with politics
@9J7F2ZZRepublican4mos4MO
A more egalitarian society would decrease the mental health and happiness of people because there is a wide range of possiblities and not everyone should be treated, at least in the sense of crime and violance.
@9J7DFP74mos4MO
People may be a little more depressed since everyone is equal and the same but with ways to have fun so maybe a 50/50 split.

How would education change in a society that aims for equal opportunities for all its members?
It would create a more competitive environment, which is both good and bad.
@9HN83ND5mos5MO
it would be good for a while but I think trying to maintain that or researching new ways to improve this process would be difficult.
@A.-Rhys5mos5MO
I think the approach to teaching many things would change, but would likely change the most in regards to the content of history. It would likely utilize a more global approach to history education. It would also hopefully have a fact based approach to history that eliminates biases, while also portraying national/cultural values in ways that may be affected by popular vote, and only referencing differing values in objective (but not necessarily neutral) ways.
We would likely see a major expansion and destigmatization of teaching in ways that accommodate the support needs of disabled/ill stud… Read more

Everyone has the same opportunity no matter what school you go to

What fears or concerns might you have about living in a world where your contributions are rewarded equally, regardless of the job?
@9JQMYFH3mos3MO
The execution of social equality is a idea that may seem beautiful to believe in. All individuals are treated as equals and act as thus. But the implementation of any true lack of social division would cause an infinite number of social issues to arise.
@9JQKDC53mos3MO
Fears: Everyones the same and no ones different
Pros: Everyone gets treated equal and no one is superior
@9JQK5983mos3MO
I do not agree, people’s hard work should be rewarded and match what they had done
@9JQKQSP3mos3MO
I feel as if it is a wonderful and peaceful idea but in reality it is cute and fictional as the people who push for it are bought and payed for so they seem untrue to it.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What role do you think artists and creative individuals would play in a society that doesn't compensate based on popularity?
They will be the teachers of our children, the strategists of our corporations, and the dreamers of our nation. They would lead the highest and lowest of society toward a better future.
@9JPP4W43mos3MO
I think that artists and creative individuals, solely play a role in public entertainment.
@9JPP4BW3mos3MO
I believe in a socialist community we wpuld all loose our individualism
@9JPP4NS3mos3MO
Artists and creative individuals would play the role of our builders. Designing our building structures that surround us.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would it change your day-to-day life if making money was no longer a concern?
@9HTSWK25mos5MO
Everyone would be greatly impacted if making money was no longer a concern, stress levels would decrease, no work, more free time.
@9HTS6M5American Solidarity5mos5MO
Nothing really. Infact I would be quite bored without a job
@9HTRYQW5mos5MO
I agree with some parts of it and disagree with others
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you think human nature can allow for a society without competition or personal ambition?
It is human nature to seek competition and strive for one’s personal ambition. That does not mean, however, that humans cannot create a better, more equitable society. There are times where competition is necessary and others when grace is. The key is to know the difference.
@9H9CZNR6mos6MO
No, and even if everyone was at the same level, at a government tal level corruption is still very likely. Rather would prefer a system with some benefits but wiggle room
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Imagine a world without billionaires or homeless people; what emotions does that stir in you?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you think societal values would shift if everyone started life with the same opportunities?
It would be a very important change for the world because all people would have the same rights as everyone else regardless of sex, region, color, sexual orientation, economy, among other things.
@9HXZ5LY4mos4MO
The class system would be nonexistent and discrimination based on upbringing gone
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you feel living in a society where everyone has exactly the same wealth?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What impact do you believe a guaranteed basic standard of living would have on your ambitions?
@9JB2FCB4mos4MO
Horrible idea
Everyone would strive for the minimal goal. It wouldn’t matter
@9JB2939Peace and Freedom4mos4MO
I think many people can outgrow guaranteed basic standard of living.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If creativity didn't earn you extra money or fame, would you still pursue your passions?
I would still pursue my passion or something similar to my passion. I want to do something that I enjoy.
@9HZGSBWNatural Law4mos4MO
Of course. We are all created to be a certain way. Not one person is the same!
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What kind of hobbies might become popular if work was no longer tied to making a living?
@9HXZB544mos4MO
More hobbies would be science, music, book keeping, and other things.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might your relationships change if there was no economic pressure to succeed or provide?
@9JSQXRV3mos3MO
I'd be looking for people with the same goals as me
@9JSQKVHWorking Family3mos3MO
It would be a great life. I can focus on my kids and thrive in my natural environment
