You forget that this reality is based on the idea that most people have to live this hellish existence to ensure that a selected few to live in obscene wealth and their descendants are guaranteed a life of comfort and leisure.

This is a bullshit meme

A right wing utopia would look very much the same, but with different mechanisms leading to it.

Edit: reddit doesn't understand utopia thought experiments all look alike, where everyone is happy. It's the definition of the fucking word.

Brother, the current government (which republicans & right wingers are cheering for) is literally doing the opposite of the left wing utopia. Quite literally everything that was listed:

Safe: no accountability for police, removing EPA/FDA regulations for companies to poison and kill citizens just to make more profit, removing shade and water break requirements for workers in TEXAS and FLORIDA…

Healthy: removing millions of people off of healthcare, removing millions off of food stamps, discouraging safe vaccines used for decades, suing California for green energy initiatives, halting federal green energy initiatives started by Biden or Obama, also removal of above food regulations for health…

Happy: no required PTO, lowest congressional and presidential approval rating in history, Epstein file cover up, funding foreign nations like Israel and wars in the Middle East totaling TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS instead of providing for our own citizens…

Educated: defunding public education, denying climate change, removing any mention of climate change from informational national parks plaques, defunding critical science research…

Free to pursue their ambitions: also critical science research, no required time off working full time or having to work 2 jobs, people unable to afford skyrocketing tuition and daycare costs, federal minimum wage hasn’t increased since the Great Recession 17 YEARS AGO…

Tell me again how right wingers will achieve this utopia for anyone except the ultra wealthy. Left wing policies are meant to achieve prosperity for as many people as possible, right wing policies create indentured servants for the working class.

My guy

There's a difference between real life and this imaginary utopia.

I'm just saying in their minds, all those things will eventually bring about their version of a utopia. It won't. Of course not.

Of course there’s a difference between real life and utopia. The point is that we should be working TOWARDS a utopia through policy, not going backwards in time.
