The True Utopian Society

The work force has been altered throughout the course of history, largely due to changes in government form in the extensive worldwide nations. As wars have occurred both within countries and between them, imposed governments have changed the working class. The labor force has suffered the consequences of governmental changes such as China, USSR, North Korea, and other communist countries. For the future, more warfare is bound to occur, thus altering the government forms of countries. All options must be explored in order to determine which government form will create the true utopian society. Communism has been explored in the past, but it has ultimately failed in practice time and time again due to inherent flaws in the system created …show more content…

As an ideology, this seems reasonable but in practice it is highly improbable due to the natural tendencies of mankind.

In an ideal communist society, everyone would receive what they need, so greed would be forcefully exterminated. According to Adam Smith, writer of The Wealth of Nations, workers in a traditional, capitalist society earn their pay based off of several factors such as dirtiness of the work, constancy of employment, and the probability of success in the field. In a communistic society, your job is given to you based on the demand for the job and your pay is equivalent to the entire populations in order to make everything completely fair.

From the perspective of a laborer with light or easy work, a communistic society would offer him the ideal employment and pay for his job while someone with heavy tasks, such as a miner, would find the society to be unfair against him. Implications can be made that the previous communistic societies have failed due to the uprisings that occurred due
