    The usual examples are always:

    • Efforts that got crushed by capitalism almost immediately. Paris Commune being the star here.

    • Indigenous societies that got crushed by capitalism/colonialism as soon as capitalism found them.

    • Microstates and sub-states that are meagre enough in natural resources to be either not worth exploiting, or worth more existing as tax havens, cheap labour sources, or provisioners of other capitalist exploits.

      And they always omit that it was basically prototype of the DotP, but it failed precisely because of its utopian tendencies. And how France and Germany, mortal enemies just few weeks before, but both capitalist states, immediately joined hands to crush it.
