[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 3722723, member: 561910"] What is it about utopia that leads to genocide? Why do many attempts to build utopian societies end with state sponsored mass murders? It's a strange connection when you consider the definition of utopia: an ideal and perfect place or state where everyone lives in harmony and everything is for the best. The Nazis dreamed of a utopian 1000 year reign and the Soviet Union slaughtered millions in their quest for a communist utopia . Many Cambodians have Pol Pot's attempt to build a peasant utopia to thank for their death. Armenia, Darfur, Rwanda, and the Balkans, are all examples of genocides perpetrated in an attempt to build a better and more utopian society. The problem with building utopia is that a lot of people just simply don't fit into the new system. Their existence is at odds with the given vision of utopian nationalism. Elimination is required for the realization of the utopian society and genocide fills this need nicely. The diversity found in the conceptualization of utopia is ultimately responsible for mass murder and genocide. So what can we take from all this? Don't trust hippies involved in politics. Their journey to a utopian society just might end in your death. We must also fight diversity because it is the catalyst of so many atrocities. Who knows, if we all do our part we just might succeed.
