When Everything Belongs to Everyone
What if you woke up tomorrow and discovered that everything you owned-your house, your clothes, even your money-suddenly belonged to everyone? Sounds terrifying, right? Yet in 1516, Thomas More imagined exactly this scenario and called it paradise. His fictional island of Utopia operates on a principle that would make most of us deeply uncomfortable: the complete abolition of private property. But here's the twist-More wasn't simply describing a fantasy. He was holding up a mirror to his own society, and by extension, to ours. On this imaginary island, houses rotate among families every decade. Meals happen in communal dining halls. Clothing comes from shared storehouses. Gold, that universal symbol of wealth and power, gets fashioned into chamber pots and children's toys. When foreign ambassadors arrive dripping in jewels and gold chains, Utopian children point and laugh, confused why adults would wear playthings. The scene is deliberately absurd, yet it reveals something profound: what we consider valuable is entirely constructed by our culture. The Utopians have simply chosen to construct it differently. Without money or possessions to hoard, theft becomes meaningless. Status anxiety evaporates. Everyone works just six hours daily, yet produces abundance because everyone contributes. This isn't naive idealism-More anticipates every objection we might raise about motivation and human nature, then systematically dismantles them.
