Well how are you defining the term 'society'? I think in the arcane language of the day, it implied voluntary association--good company. But I could be wrong.

Interesting point, AG; didn't consider it in that light til now...

Hence the term, "Socialism" (in theory, anyway...lol).

Yeah, in theory. The propagandists who came up with the name for the Nazi party were some clever sons of bitches, knew just how to play the people of Germany. It was called the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or National Socialist German Workers Party. That was the magic ticket for German people because it fooled them into believing that this new radical rebellious revolutionary party would be all about them, the little people, the workers. The states of Prussia had always been a stratified society; important dynasies, royal families and the church ruling over the little men, each one born to their fate and station in life with little possibility of improving one's lot.

But it was not and could not be society or socially driven or anything close to the bonds of affection and admiration that draw people together in society because it was an authoritarian scheme still to the last detail. Authority is all about coercing people to act against their own heart and conscience; it's the opposite. The very idea of a socialist government is an oxymoron.

AG (or anyone else who feels like chiming in), what existing form of government comes closest to a utopian status quo?

There's no such thing as a "utopian government", that's an oxymoron.

 If some of our socities are sick, we're all gonna be sick.
