Every change which has occurred has never resulted in a single pure ideology characterizing a civilization.

All change is plural and incremental, even so-called "revolutions" really just exchange the set in power for another set. They leave the plurality of really-existing power structures in place, whilst disturbing only a small number.

This is simply an incremental shift in power at the very top.

Utopian projects take pluralities of lifestyles and pragmatic political systems and attempt to unify them under a single consistent set of criteria.

It's something for the mind of an adolescent, to which this mode of thinking is common.

libertarians leave capitalism intact. You can say that government delegates is "a small number".
