Are you naive enough to believe that your own definition is something that would be universally accepted??

I think utopian would be more appropriate. Yeah, wouldn't it be great if society was completely egalitarian, everyone was equal, made the same amount of money, no crime, no greed, etc., etc. Of course it's completely contrary to human nature. But Marx and Engels were idealistic and their intentions however misguided were still fairly noble. It's just an inherently flawed philosophy that in the real world (or any other world) can not work, and inevitably will lead to more tyranny/greed, etc. than capitalism.
