utopian socialists
AnswerThe Utopian Movement was a time period during American History when people with radical views started to create their own perfect communities.

Some examples of these colonies were Brook Farm, New Harmony, and Shakers.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) during the antebellum era in America can be considered a utopian society. While not all Church members lived in a single community, the majority did. This community was close-knit and striving to establish "Zion." They worked and lived cooperatively with each other similar to ways that other utopian societies at the time did. They have sometimes been considered the only utopian group that has survived from that era, although their practices have been modernized and could not be considered utopian today.

Building utopian communities
Not at all. Socialists and utopians invariable forget that the inhabitants of their communities are populated with flawed human beings. There has never been an example of a socialist utopian community that lasted for longer than a year or two.
