What a low bar for a utopia. I imagine a utopia being so much more... I dunno, ambitious, than something as basic as worker controlled economic systems, direct democracy, women's rights, acceptance of sexual preferences, etc.

I think we're in an era of such incredible pessimism that the notion of any spark of hope for the future is seen as naively utopian. Our imagination has been reduced to only seeing the worst case scenario as the realistic one.
