More's Utopia

• Classless society, because everyone works, everyone is equal.
  • Everyone works for 6 hours a day at whatever you are best at.
  • There are elected officials, but they represent the people, not the elite.
    
    
• The great sin: PRIDE. More's Utopia is set up to discourage or banish the sin of pride.
  • People's clothes are basically the same, very simple, designed for utility
  • No hereditary distinctions
  • People change houses every 10 years, so that property can't become a source of pride.
  • Luxury for some comes at the price of poverty for others. Pride fuels this. So, pride must be fought against.
    
    
• Agricultural community
  • Everyone learns farm labour
  • Everyone works on the farm for at least 2 years. Some will choose to continue there.
    
    
• The Good Life
  • Since everyone is free from striving to be economically better than others, people can explore the best that humanity has to offer.
  • Great pleasure in physical things - eating, drinking, sex.
  • Life is more than the physical: arts, philosophy, and religion thrive.
    
    
• Peace and Security
  • Crime is dealt with through education
