This post is a response to a question initially posed on Quora, and can also be accessed via “https://www.quora.com/If-you-are-a-Leftist-do-you-think-it-is-wrong-to-build-Utopias/answer/Antonio-Amaral-1“

As humans, it is vital that we all work together to make a better world for all of us today and for those who come after us.

After all, we are currently enjoying many freedoms and luxuries we would otherwise not have had it not been for the contributions of those who came before us.

Failing to do our part to make this a better world makes us a parasitic element that erodes the social fabric.

Working against the betterment of humanity is a betrayal of the social contract. Today’s dynamic resembles a tribe that survived a primitive existence by everyone working together. Having one person in that tribe work against the tribe’s survival was viewed as a threat to that tribe.

They had much more efficient ways of dealing with such betrayals then.

A utopia is otherwise just a setting on a compass that keeps us on track. Utopia is a concept and a direction, not a destination.

Hiding one’s misanthropy behind a political ideology is the polluting act of an intellectual coward and a morally depraved psychopath.

As you can see from how people are united in support of Luigi Mangioni, it’s not about left versus right. It never has been. It’s always been the top attacking the bottom, while people like you who play into that divisiveness are just useful idiots keeping us all distracted from saving ourselves from disaster.

Framing this question within the context of a political ideology only adds to the chasm between political polarities, imbues it with passive-aggressive disparaging implications, and is irresponsibly divisive nonsense.

Shame on you.
