Born out of the depression and the cultural milieu of Southern California, the Utopian Society - sharing aspects of Bellamy's economic views, Technocracy, and other influences - was "a semi-secret society whose initiatory ceremonies embodied a series of dramatic performances epitomizing man's struggle for economic security and general well-being, tracing the progress of that struggle up thru past centuries and looking into the near future for the attainment of its goal."
