Summary/Abstract: Utopian political thinking, which the author outlines on the example of Rloch’s Utopia, is the product of the totality of theoretical, practical and poietic activity; it means that man is a self-producing living being, and no reality precedes his self-production. Utopian political thinking has its firm foundations in Marx's outlines of the community of the future. Marx, however, rarely dealt with political issues, as he did not consider them to be of first importance. Neither his »political« solution from the Civil War in France nor his »economic« solution from the Critique of the Gotha Programme involve a deeper analysis of logos politeia. Instead of political Utopia, Marxist thinking should maintain, in the author’s view, an analytical and realistic insight into the common life of people.
