Yeah, but that's just the sort of thing I was talking about - fear of thinking big ideas. I don't think people with utopian longings should be blamed for Auschwitz or Hiroshima.

Agreed.
The elimination of the socialist "meta-narrative" has resulted in the castration of the left. Even the officially socialist, social-democratic and labor parties are screaming, "TINA!" to the proletariat. Now, with its hip, new, post-modern ways, the left has become a mass of atomised, individualistic, liberals, bouncing around in submissive, reformist ways under the domination of Capital, afraid that its own dreams might turn into nightmare re-runs of Auschwitz or the Gulag.
