1763 || the politics of utopia

In the late 60's a bunch of hippie communes popped up across the US, and the ideals were beautiful... but sadly shortlived and often filled with conflict because they focused on escapism instead of true collaboration.

If we avoid politics as a way to resist tyranny, we may end up fostering a different form of tyranny.

Similarly to the tolerance paradox: Governance can by tyrannical but so can non-governance.
