Community: social creatures engaging in collective effort for the common good. Cooperation: against competition (produce basic goods, not to make profit) Social equality: equality as a demand of justice (everyone should get the same) Class: significance of socioeconomic class (marxist-have to understand classes to understand history, social democrats-educe distinction between middle/working & white/blue collar) Common ownership: against private property and capitalism (owning private property is corrupting) Utopia: no place, (add e ) good place. Everyone should work for 6 hours/day, every citizen should be able to draw from common stock. Replace capitalists inefficiency with expert planning and organizational hierarchy.
