Utopia for realists

Rutger Bregman's book is almost like a prophecy. It talks about several ideas to transition towards the ideal world. Universal basic income, open borders, a fifteen hour work week and many more ideas, 'seemingly' radical, well, as on today. What a world that would be, though.

But hey, dive into history and recollect that those who called for the abolition of slavery, for suffrage for women etc, were also once branded lunatics. Until history proved them right. The time for Rutger's Utopia shall come. Perhaps sooner than one would anticipate. For now, rather than being outright dismissive of this idea, let's debate, like realists.
