UTOPIANISM AND UTOPIANS
The best known representatives of utopianism are
Robert Owen and Saint-Simon. They believed that private
property, religion and middle class marriages were the
three vices that should be eradicated.
The utopians are basically honest, but their utopian
lucidity is apparent because they had not been applying
dialectical realism, i.e. super analysis. They positions
were rather rigid and inflexible.
They did not upgrade their philosophy in time and
space. Probably the time they lived in did not provide
opportunities to spread up and improve their philosophical
ideas. Almost all the philosophers, especially the utopians,
deal with private property and analyze it. But their
approach is not scientific and thorough. Superficial results
are always erroneous and ill-defined.
Throughout history, private property has been the
driving force for faster development.
