      Interesting concept. Kind of like “is it really heaven if people you didn’t like while you were alive are also there?”

      Utopia can never be utopia for everyone because some people will want hierarchy and superiority over others. So with this requirement, utopia cannot exist. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t :D

        “Utopia” doesn’t mean everyone gets what they want. People can want things to be worse while still living in a Utopia.

    If you’re thinking of American right-wingers and fascists who are currently celebrating Trump’s victory, I must say their view of the world is so dark, negative and pessimistic, that nobody could really describe it as utopia-like. This is a brief respite for them, nothing more.

    If you’re thinking more abstractly, or of some very specific incredibly lucky people, then I guess it could be so.
