A Utopia is not such a great idea

to make a Utopia one must create a dystopia elsewhere. This is why classism, racism, and sexism exist. The dominate group try to build a Utopia for themselves, thus, they build a dis-functional society. Wealthy white males enjoy life to the max while the poor community, that happens to be mostly people of color are in societies that corrupts one, economically enslaves one, and ultimately brings a painful destruction to those trap in there. then womyn are oppressed the worst i believe. This is why here in the USA, it was first the poor farmers who had rights, then the people of color, and at last womyn where given a few rights. This was the dystopia build so that wealthy white males and unjoy a Utopia. it is kind of like the ying and yang of life.

now, if we really want the ideal society, we should acknowledge we can't reach perfection, thus, we can't never reach an Utopia. Instead, we must work for a well balance society. were every one suffers and enjoys like equally, thus, the pain is spread among all and is so, it not felt as bad as if one small group becomes target with it all.

Why "work for a well-balanced society"? I mean really, why should I have any concern whatsoever for a man living in poverty half-way across the country? Or some guy deprived of his rights because of racist injustice?

I'm- at most- going to be alive, say, 80-90 years. Do you really think in that short time span any neglect of the interests of others on my part is REALLY going to have any significant impact on my own life? My life is my own- what matters another man's experience? "Utopia"? "Ideal society"?... Keep them both for yourself.

Humanism is enslavement of those who are self-willing to remain blind.

yes... why should you have any concern for a man living in poverty half-way across the country. because it affects you. it may not do it directly but i does it in-directly. you should be concern because once the government picks on a group of people, it is going to attack other groups one by one, dive and conquer. and once they come to you, you'll be alone, and enslave. so look at it this way. by caring about group being put down, you, in a sense are using them as a shield, as a bate to keep the government sharp teeth away from your and your family.

nevertheless, you put a strong point. i learn something from you. thanx
