Communism, the only way to achieve a Utopia

Everyone in this world tries to make it better. If we want to have a world like Utopia, which in relality, can't really be achieved. The closest thing that this world will ever get to a Utopia is a communists society. As bad as communism is, it is the only one with the closest principles to a Utopia. Communism eliminates social class, so that everyone is theoretically equal, socially. Which is close to a utopia which does the same thing. Now with the exception of religion, which in communism, their is no religious toleration.

What are your thoughts? Is Communism the only way to have a utopia?

More on "The Perfect world"

As I have mention in earlier posts, Utopia is the perfect world. In Utopia, everyone is payed the same amount of money regardless of job status. For example, a doctor gets payed the same as a peasant does. This leads to a whole bunch of questions. In todays world, there are pay differences between different jobs,   which creates different social classes. But in Utopia, there are no social classes. So one of the way to eliminate the social classes is to have everyone get payed the same. 


Do you think that social classes should be eliminated? if so, should it be done by paying everyone the same amount of money?

Summary of the End.

The end basically just sums up much of the book. The conclusion is one last letter to Peter Giles including what an anonymous critic thought of the country.

If you were this critic, what would you say about Utopia?
I would probably agree with what the critic had to say because it is practically impossible to have such a perfect world. It's rather far-fetched that the rules that were assigned would keep a country such as this one under control. Since Utopia means "no where," it means that the place does not exist. Therefore, it seems like just an idea of what would happen if the world or a country were like this one.

I chose to draw this because the way they described the church shows that they had a very itelligent way of setting up the religion, the way they did because they took into consideration that when there is darker lighting, people have stronger religious feeling, which was why they made the walls thick and the insight somewhat dark. I also made sure to make the chuch looked really big because in the book, they mentioned how big it was, which tells me that they cared a lot about religion.

I chose to draw this because it shows how people are ranked in their communities. The fact that everybody on the entire block, shows the unity and selflessness everybody in the community has. When they describe supper time, they are sure to mention where everybody sits. The styward and his wife sit in the middle of the table together and if there is a priest, he sits across from them. Then on either side of them, sits four younger children and next to them, are four older people. These seating arrangements come about because they believe that by the younger children sitting next to the older people, they would want to impress them and show them that they are mature, so they are always on their best behavior at the table.

I drew this picture to stress the format of Utopia. I think that the way the houses weren described really makes it sound like they have no privacy or anyt kind of individual personality. Raphael described the houses with swinging doors, because nobody has any reason to lock their doors and everybody can just stroll into other people's houses. I made sure to include the flowers in the garden behind the house and I made the double sided street just like the book said. I think that this really represents the way Utopia is run because everybody shares everything, especially food and goods. This is because they do not have to pay for anything, because they pretty much have no money and everything in the country is distributed evenly.

The Utopia Theme

In the book Utopia the idea of a perfect world is presented to us the readers. It's an idea that most of us know already. But when this book came out in 1516, this was a totaly new idea. No one had ever thought of the idea that a perfect world could exist. As humans, we tend to try and strive towards this idea. But the problem with that is everyone has different ideas on just what that world consists of. Utopia is just one persons idea of that vision. From this book, Thomas More planted the seeds for many other classic books that take on the idea of a utopia. Books like 1984 and Brave New World take on the ideas of a distopia, the idea of a non-perfect world, and all of them lead back to what the book started. The idea of a perfect one.
