What is Utopia?

So, what is utopia? To me, utopia is man's desire for an ideal or perfect society. Utopia is also used to express an unrealistic idea that is impossible to achieve.

This is probably somewhat like what a communist society is. On first sight, the idea of a society wheere there is a equal distribution of goods among everyone in the society. Also, this inclubes the total abolition of money, with citizens only doing work which they enjoy and which is for the common good, leaving them with ample time for the cultivation of the arts and sciences.

However, man has always been greedy and wants to take advantage of others. In this utopian society, everyone will not or do minimal work and there will be constant argument about the distribution. Therefore, in the end the Soviet Union not working out well.

This is what happens in Animal Farm
