dystopia,

[discolé monade]

is not in webster's 'all in one' dictionary & thesaurus: 2nd edition.  p.2013

and i'm sort of confused.

Maybe it's no longer a dystopia when you're already in it.

[nameraka]

Those all in ones are usually truncated. 

...which probably isn't in there either.

[discolé monade]

whoo hooo hooooo. look at the one with the fancy words, and such. 

[Raptorpat]

my undergrad capstone course was about various efforts by totalitarian governments to create utopias, and the dystopias that resulted

[discolé monade]

i bet that was an extremely interesting class. 

[Raptorpat]

the short of it is that fast-track totalitarian overhauls tend to backfire monkeypaw style 

Mao's "great leap forward" probably led to more human death and suffering than any other single event in history
