We have set utopia over against the world. As a matter of fact, it is our utopias that make the world tolerable to us: the cities and mansions that people dream of are those in which they finally live.” As many of the essays in this volume note, because of the association of “utopia” with the “unreal and the impossible,” “utopianism” has an ambiguous legacy.

Our concept of the revolution involves the working class en- gaging in a struggle that goes no further than maintaining its own interest. We advocate the struggle of self-interest because it cannot fail, we think if it is followed through to its end it will in itself bring capital down because this struggle is situated within production and the ownership of production is the basis of capitalist existence; if this direct struggle is not side-tracked by political mediations it will discover everything Monsieur Dupont has attempted to articulate over months and years in five min- utes and many times over in many places of the world. The proletariat is organised by capital, in every place, its situation is always, everywhere, the same; in direct struggle it will always un- cover the same truths, therefore any further organisation would be superfluous and potentially exploitative. 4. Our mechanical schemes are not nineteenth century as some have argued, they are much older than that. We think the revo- lution will be in two stages, the first will involve the destruction of the capitalist system by the working class as it seizes produc- tion (which it might do without even formulating a desire to do so.
