    Leftist? Liberal maybe but I don’t think leftists generally think you can just convince the ruling class to do the right thing.

      Utopian Socialists, that’s why I referenced the Owenites. Usually leftists who haven’t read much theory, if any, but have their hearts in the right place.

      Liberals usually aren’t necessarily Utopian, because they believe the status quo itself is good, or just misguided. It’s idealistic, but not quite Utopian.
