Would anybody here audition for such a show?

The utopian ideal is where ATF is a convenience store selling alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

Utopia would require a ban on RATS and everybody pull their own weight...

In general, people who want to live in Utopia want to live in a society where life is all fun and games.

You can build a good -- not perfect -- society, if you're willing to do real work. And of primary importance would be the ability to kick people out if they are not doing their share:

1) Your illegal immigrants would be a problem. You'd need to kick them out as criminals and (largely) moochers. We cannot seem to take this step, so no Utopia in out immediate future.
2) Your parasites subsisting on government charity would be a problem. You'd need to cut people off from EBT cards, free healthcare and subsidized housing. There is no evidence that we would ever try to do this. Again, no Utopia in out immediate future.

A Perfect society? It will never be possible. Human Nature will not allow it. Ever.

A Better society? We can imagine such a thing, but experience tells me we can't even start that journey.

Perfect for who? :-)

Utopian secular humanists believe that human nature is basically beneficent; it is restrictive societal laws that corrupt human beings, and not the contrary. Their solution is behaviorism, social engineering, and ethical relativism to untap the natural propensity for altruism.

In the end, the biggest problem is that anything can be construed as "good" or "bad" under the assumption that it is all relative to the situation in which a man finds himself. Even if individuals are striving to do the right thing they may honestly disagree about what is the right thing, since there is no absolute standard.

Someone ought to inform the producers about what the word “utopia” actually means. A combination of two Greek words meaning “No Place”, i.e. a place that does not and cannot actually exist. It can be placed alongside Marx’s Communist and Lenin’s Soviet classless society as something only a true intellectual would be stupid enough to believe in.

Audition for a TV show? Probably not a good idea for a conservative. The producers and directors would be sure to make you look like an idiot any chance they had.
