A: Well, there’s a conundrum. A society can’t be ideal, unless everyone thinks it’s ideal. So, what if other people want something different than you? Do you force them to comply with your ideal? Do you consent to their ideal? Neither one works for me. The closest to an ideal society that we can hope to get, is one where everyone is free to pursue their own ideals.
Remember that Hitler had ideals for society. So did Stalin and Mao. And they expected everyone to conform to their ideals. In other words, they were tyrants.
