Isn't communist society utopian?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

In the sense that it seeks to change society, yes. However, Marxist currents of socialism hold strictly to philosophical materialism. Ideas which are too far rooted in ideology and not in real world conditions are considered by marxist theorists to be destined to fail when tested in real life.

Read Engels - Socialism, utopian and scientific, for the modern basis of marxism / scientific socialism, and how its different from the earliest utopian strands of socialism.
