How many deaths would you be willing to cause to achieve Utopia?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

All of the worst crimes of History were caused by people who were trying to build what they considered Utopia.

If you had the means and were 100% sure you could achieve Utopia, resulting in the deaths of at least 10000 people, what would be your limit?

For me, if I was sure I could achieve the perfect world, the limit would be around 2,5 millions.

I'm not willing to kill anyone for Utopia. The guilt of that would prevent me from ever enjoying the Utopia that I created, so what's the point?

[Jamie05rhs]

I call bullshit. Sorry. Even if you set a limit, once you got that far in and the goal was not yet accomplished, you would keep going. You would feel like it was necessary to keep going. Because otherwise the lives of all of those people would have been wasted.

Thanks for the MHO!

I've no limits. You stand in the way, you die. Simple as that. Can be as little as 10,000, it could be as many as 99% of the population, or it could just be down to those I care about, which is less than 40 people total.

Like the Khmer Rouge said to their opponents "To keep you is not benefit, to kill you is no loss"

[Agape93]

Rather apt, actually.

[WonderBell99]

Would it really be a Utopia if you go around killing people? What's the point of it then?

If you need to kill innocent people to make the best society you can, you suck at your job to say the least.
