Utopian socialism
Imagines planned model communities built on cooperation, an approach that predates Marxism.
Associated with: Robert Owen, Charles Fourier, Henri de Saint-Simon.
Utopian socialism sits in the left-libertarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: strongly state-led and leaning libertarian. The clearest positions are strongly state-led on economy, leaning nature-first on environment and leaning peace-first on war and peace.
