In some cases yes , in most cases though , the answer is no because these people who “govern” the community often make mistakes and moreover , even if the mistakes are small , they can end in much bigger problems. Many utopian experiments failed due to the fact they didn’t have any proper governing or people leading in their community. As stated in the article “Why Utopias fail” , one of the reasons why utopias don’t last was due to the lack of governing and not due to the actions of the citizens or people living there did. This article specifically states “While many people believe utopias are doomed to fail because of human nature , it’s much more useful to approach utopia as the ultimate governance challenge.(88)” This is basically saying human nature does not cause the downfall of things but the fact that there is a factor of strong governing which is just not achievable.
