And yet it is abundantly clear that the sundering of their world into 13 was their own doing. There's plenty of reason to think this "Utopia" would just repeat history and sundering into 13 again if it were restored. Emet is deluded, viewing his own people with dangerously rose-tinted glasses.

I don't think you even have a basic idea of what literature is. You're supposed to be concerned when you read 1984. You're supposed to be concerned when you read It Can't Happen Here. Your not suppose to disregard these books simply because they are fiction.
