There is nothing idealized or abstract about wanting a society that is free of looting thieves.

Idealized and abstract is what progressives want in a government:

They want to elect leaders who have total control over the economy and monetary system, yet who are perfectly benevolent and will not abuse their power. - Now THAT is idealized and abstract.

It is foolish to assume that a government which has absolute control over the monetary, banking, police, and court systems will not abuse their power.

Isn't it funny how the people who are afraid of monopolies on the market (which there exists no evidence of there ever being one) want State monopolies of currency, energy, national defense, transportation, health care, etc?
