In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote a book called Utopia. Later, in the 18th century, Robert Owens created this legendary society called New Harmony in Indiana and started this colony there. After about 2 years, the community crashed and burned because, well, there were all kinds of issues (manufacturing, labor, etc.)

Plato's idea of a perfect society was outlined in his book "The Republic," where he proposed a society governed by philosopher-kings and guided by the principles of justice, wisdom, and moderation. In this society, individuals would be assigned roles based on their abilities and interests, ensuring a harmonious and well-ordered community where everyone contributes to the common good. The society would prioritize education and philosophical contemplation as essential components of a virtuous life.

Brook Farm was considered Utopian because it aimed to create a perfect community based on transcendentalist ideals, emphasizing harmony between individuals and nature. Founded in the 1840s by George Ripley, it sought to combine manual labor with intellectual pursuits, allowing residents to cultivate both their minds and bodies. The community promoted equality, cooperation, and shared resources, reflecting a vision of a more egalitarian and fulfilling society. However, despite its ideals, Brook Farm faced practical challenges and ultimately dissolved, highlighting the difficulties of achieving a true Utopian vision.
