utopist
Perfectionist about society
A utopist is someone who believes in or advocates for utopia—an ideal society free from suffering and injustice.
The term often carries a hint of naivety, suggesting dreams disconnected from practical realities: Critics dismissed him as a utopist whose schemes ignored human nature.
Utopist overlaps with utopian but emphasizes the person rather than the ideas.
