This is utopian in the bad sense. Antagonistic conflicts of interests can be eliminated and reduce the amount of conflict, but any larges ociety of strangers with diverse viewpoints and interests will have conflicts about means and ends that will require means of resolving them peacefully and finally in a generally acceptable way, viz., law.
