My utopia – #5days5posts Post 5

This final post is concerned with one of my longest lasting obsessions: utopian thought. I think the roots of this mania are in the very early realisation of many things that were wrong with the world I lived in when I was a child, which was itself a utopian experiment that went tragically wrong -( i.e. existing socialism of a Hungarian variety aka the happiest barrack). It is lined with passionate belief in the unique value of every single individual and an outrage at so many people being forced to compromise their talents for mere subsistence. Delving into Marxist philosophy I gradually explored the rich and fascinating genre of utopian literature.
