    little or anything about Marx/Marxism and his terms of a communist society. It is futile and ignorant to turn a blind eye and wish that communism will somehow fade away. Nor is it reasonable to equate communism to a very authoritarian, undemocratic, and inhumane, such as the one under Stalin’s rule.Rather we must understand its strength, its danger, and what Marx, who is considered the father of communism, considered a utopian society to be. Firstly, we must must understand the ideals that of Marx/Marxism

    For this project I decided to take an approach that outlines every bit of society today and transform that into what it would be like in the new utopian world. I spent hours thinking through certain aspects of the society contemplating pros and cons at every turn.

    Have you ever wondered if a perfect society is possible? A utopia is a “perfect society.” A utopia is a place where everyone is equal and everyone gets along.

In this utopia there aren’t any cars, rain, snow, sunlight

    Thomas More’s Utopia is a work of ambiguous dualities that forces the reader to question More’s real view on the concept of a utopian society. However, evidence throughout the novel suggests that More did intend Utopia to be the “best state of the commonwealth.” The detailed description of Utopia acts as Mores mode of expressing his humanistic views, commenting on the fundamentals of human nature and the importance of reason and natural law, while gracefully combining the two seemingly conflicting
