I would argue that those experiments fall into three categories:<p>* Experiments that have been tried (like anarchism and some kinds of communalism) and don&#x27;t need repeating<p>* Obviously terrible ideas (anarchism again, communism, some others)<p>* Beyond the ready scope of purely legal changes (feminism)<p>And this is even before you start addressing the problems of getting 1000 people going in an environment with meaningful infrastructure. Or having it function economically without being a gaping money pit.<p>I suspect smart and wealthy people interested in changing society tend to realize that there are more ways to break society than there are to improve society. Therefore, smaller changes that do not individually break society are preferable to changing everything at once and praying you didn&#x27;t introduce a killer bug somewhere in your batch of a million changes.<p>As a result, you get more people like George Soros than you do Lenin. For which we may want to consider being thankful.
