Utopia - A word coined by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia - he combined two Greek words, Eutopia - meaning a good place and Outopia - no where/place. He imagined in his book a Utopic island in the Atlantic ocean where property was owned collectively and people lived according to rational and enlightened ideals. The idea and dream of Utopia inspires many people to dream and act to make the world about a better place, the dream is ancient, already Aristophanes dreamt of a floating city in the sky in his play The Birds… Thomas More lost his head for that dream, and it seems our governments now are more and more trying to get into our heads for merely daring to dream… Brutalising has by now become an art of deception - it has reversed the premise; the dreamers are seen as vandals disturbing the right to dream away the reality of oppression and economic exploitation through heavily tainted glasses manufactured for the masses by the %1. Where is Utopia? It is everywhere and that is what scares the elite, so be a dreamer…
