Socialist Utopianism.

I explicitly reject socialist utopianism.
I reject utopianism because I believe that in our fallen condition men are incapable of maintaining any sort of consistent structure where everyone's needs are maintained at all times. I believe that if we are to be free we must accept as inevitable the rising and falling of societies, ideas, and philosophies. If utopianism is only possible through coercion then it is no longer utopianism.
I reject socialism because the distribution of resources cannot be managed in any meaningful way by people with no personal vested interest in the resources in question. People must own these resources and must be engaged in trade in order to see the efficient movement of resources from where it is abundant to where it is scarce. Equilibrium can be met only through mutually beneficial voluntary trade.
That's my thought for today.
