I just couldn't get myself to writing anything proper this time. It was like "Hey, you should think of something" but then I'd rather do something else. Well, here is the consequence #entry, inspired by the discussion in here.

a romantic vision of Utopia
~~Oxford Dictionary
A utopia (/juːˈtoʊpiə/ yoo-TOH-pee-ə
is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens. The opposite of a utopia is a dystopia. One could also say that utopia is a perfect 'place' that has been made so there are no problems.
Utopian ideals often place emphasis on egalitarian principles of equality in economics, government and justice, though by no means exclusively, with the method and structure of proposed implementation varying based on ideology. According to Lyman Tower Sargent "[t]here are socialist, capitalist, monarchical, democratic, anarchist, ecological, feminist, patriarchal, egalitarian, hierarchical, racist, left-wing, right-wing, reformist, free love, nuclear family, extended family, gay, lesbian, and many more utopias".[1]
The term has been used to describe intentional communities.
