With that last phrase -- for several million people -- you've defined prefigurement as impossible. Which is a position you can take: prefigurement is bunk. Is that what you want to say? That it's stupid for small groups to say they are, in any way, the society they want to achieve?
If it's anything, prefigurement is the embodiment of a vision, not the display of working scale model.
