It's hilarious how statists are always trying to call libertarianism/Voluntaryism/anarchism/abolitionism "Utopian" or "childish".
As if to be a realist or an adult you have to embrace violating others in some way. No, you don't. That's just ridiculous.
But, to those whose minds have been numbed and damaged by years of gov-schooling, it's a comforting delusion.
In reality, there is no more Utopian belief than that government-- composed of the same type of people (or worse) that they say aren't good or smart enough to run their own life-- can "run society" for everyone else. Or that such a political government can be controlled or kept to a level that isn't too dangerous to be allowed to exist. Maybe a constitution could achieve this.
There is no evidence for either superstitious belief.
Children who haven't yet figured out how the real world, and the flawed humans that make it up, work might still believe a good government is possible. Or that only the most qualified people will seek to have that kind of power over everyone else. Or that one human can actually "represent" millions of people with opposing values, goals, and worldviews.
That's what Utopian childishness really looks like. It's statism.
So, when they accuse you of either of those things, just pat them on the head and send them on their way. They aren't even worth worrying about. Just do your thing and be prepared to defend yourself from those childish Utopians who'll happily kill you to keep believing in the unbelievable.
