Answer 1

This sounds to me like an incomplete question.

What is collective security utopian?

Answer 2

Collective security suggests a governmental body that is organized enough, and powerful enough, to collect income from citizens and to distribute it equally. While this is certainly communist, it is not necessarily Utopian. This is simply because, if we take Marx's view of history seriously, Utopia (which is only possible after a world communist regime) supersedes any need for a government. In a Utopia, people work together with minimal governmental interference.

Answer 3

i think 'collective security' is not at all utopian, that is, if perceived and applied conceivably. it shouldnot aim for perfection (*greed*) - this is what leads to its downfall. simply put, if there are more people in a group, it could be more difficult since there are more people to look out for to secure, but if there are only two persons in a group then they are more at risk to most all sorts of danger. "two (or many) hands are better than one (or only two), however too many minds can create chaos. tricky right?

Answer 4

Inferences would differ etymylogically; but the quintessence is that the notion is ephemeral and hence not tenable. Look at UN. Which country has reached safety via UN?
