Thank you and happy chatting!
I would love it if people would forget these silly "material conditions" sometimes.
I think exploring your own vision of a better world is really healthy and hearing and discussing others' ideals is educational.
Yes, the world is ass and our pathways to FALGSC are basically nonexistent. I'm not saying people should be living in LaLa Land, but even with the way things are I just think it would be nice to hear people's aspirations!
So what's your unrealistic, niche, but admirable ideal?
They should be friends but they can't because being utopian usually means rejecting any necessary evils that are required in making that utopia a reality. For example, how lovely would it be that we could just convince the bourgeoisie that enough is enough and they will peacefully hand over the power to the workers, but it's common sense how that won't happen.
The distinction line between them comes down to the question: "Is it better to fail while seeking perfection or to succeed while compromising with objective reality?"
