I dont think it's bad to have utopian views, it's obvious good and noble, but that needs to be tempered by reality. You can strive for those goals taking small reality based steps.
I dont know if humanity will get to where utopian ideas are feasible, I think it sort of hinges on one of those fundamental philosophical questions regarding the nature of man...which is way more than I want to dive into on this fine afternoon.
Edit: what I am trying to say in that first part is people should avoid pursuit of utopianism to the detriment of their overall situation. It is a mistake to look at something and say "both sides suck, we should have blah blah blah...so I do and pick nothing." You end up with the shitty end of the stick then.
