The Cynic's Guide to Utopia

(contd.)

Since abilities in all fields will be valued the same, money will cease to be a problem. The best of the politicians and the best of teachers will be paid the same, since neither can match the other in their respective fields. Thus, jealousy and greed towards another of a different occupation will disappear, and one can only attribute their low wage to his or her failure of putting in enough effort.

It is not enough for a society to be led by only the best of one field. That person can only understand one aspect of society well. Thus, this utopia will not be led by just a politician, who understands only the workings of government, but instead by the best of every field. The finest architect, mathematician, sanitation worker, teacher, game warden, etc, will all gather with the finest politician to make up government. Each will have control over their respective fields, as the sanitation worker will surely understand the health needs of a growing city better than the master astronomer. Society will be governed by a group of capable individuals, who, as separate beings, understand their own trade best, but when united will prove to be the most capable government because together they understand every working of society. Politics was created to serve the people; to best serve the people, society ought not to be ruled by just politicians, but instead by masters of every part of society to truly understand and serve society’s needs.

Such a perfect society needs all the unlimited goodness necessary to prosper. Even the best farmer cannot grow good crops in poor soil. With that said, history has always showed that nations become hard to manage as size increases. Thus, unification becomes imperative, and the society must exist on a single land mass, separated from the outside world. The land must be plentiful, with enough resources to last. A strategic location defense-wise is unnecessary, for surely the military will be composed of the finest and defense methods matched by none, all thanks to the fact that the most benefit can be reaped from the most talented individuals in their fields. Self-want and dependence are the two elements least favored in this society, as want is only temporary, and our true abilities are only manifested in ourselves and our abilities. Only the most capable may rule, as they are the most qualified, and the lesser have only themselves to blame.
