Than along comes some pirates. They invade these floating habitats. They kick ass and plunder the goods.
Utopia dies. End of story.

Or maybe a hurricane or typhoon for added measure. Hope its unsinkable—like the Titanic....oops, never mind.

“On their floating habitats, and free from governmental overreach”
The left and the authoritarians will never tolerate this.
They’ll kill any such free people to prevent any other people from getting any bright ideas about escaping their status as tax and wage slaves.

LOL - there have been so many attempts to create Utopia on earth. This one will, if it even happens, will end the same way.

Exactly correct.
It will only succeed if it has a strong military force to protect it.

Yeah... government would take no interest in that at all. Not our government that literally claims jurisdiction on the moon, and on into space.

You beat me to it-my 1st thought was “pirates”-some pirates bring an invasion armada, or pretend to be “refugees” and get welcomed onto the island to rape and pillage-or some of the island’s non-pacifist inhabitants see a lucrative business opportunity in turning to piracy, kicking their kumbaya singing neighbors asses, stealing their stuff and selling it on the black markets of other countries-sounds like a plan to me...

Cool. This would be just like “Water World” with Kevin Costner, a fantasy.

Sea monsters...must always account for them. Always looking for a tasty snack. This kid escaped by the hair on his chinny-chin-chin.

Enriching the poor? So will they tax their crypto currency holdings to give to the poor?
Who is doing to do the work of repair and maintenance of these artificial islands/ships???? Guest workers imported from the land?? Will they have an underclass who do the scut work?
To: Dilbert San Diego
Usually Indians and Filipinos.
