Are Utopias not in touch with the present? Which unit of time matches with this definition? Is a Utopian vision even doable as in able to be planed?

Surly a question by definition. The planning of the next day can have a Utopian design in itself. All the great Utopian societies of the 20th century have failed. They were absurd, dangerous, or inhuman. The last attempt at a better social order was toppled in 1989. With the fall of the Berlin wall Capitalism is now shown to be the only value system that continues to survive. The time in that both systems were head to head at this crossroad, there were many visions present, only to be swept away a day later. To live something other than socialism, to repeat the fatal errors and lost ways of capitalism seemed tangibly near. Still it was short lived. With the realization that a people decide for themselves how do we want to live. The long years of working in oppositional groups in the GDR are defiantly a contributing factor to the so-called Turning or Change. The goal was although only to reform the system, not to bring it down. The public voted very define for the take over of a western based value system and way of life, thus against any other alternative.

But was it so in reality? How much margin is available in this time of globalisation and expansively promoted system of values?

Any form of amendments within an existing system is bound to fail, because the system itself is unable to be reformed or amended. In addition there is no agreement in the western hemisphere how deal with a buying orientated and growth driven mad living standard, and that basically what is needed is another model for living and working.

What is left?

Only a very restricted view of an individual and his liveable model, that what today for someone is possible, beyond any Utopian trails. To concentrate on the possibility of the present.
