You and I have often talked of Southey’s and Coleridge’s pantisocracy—I believe the time has come for some such an enterprise. 

Is this Coleridge and Southey again with their Pantisocracy and Susquehanna Paradise?

He came, we must remember, half-way between the Pantisocracy of Coleridge and his friends and the still cruder vagaries of our young intellectuals.

It would take us too far to consider how the sentimental Pantisocracy of the youthful Lake Poets coincided with the direct influence of Rousseau.

This is as true of nutty little proposals by discontented geniuses--like the idea of communalist, rural "pantisocracy" put forward by Shelley, Coleridge and others in their youth--as it is of paranoid, pseudo-collectivist systems that take over whole societies and make huge contributions to the sum of human misery, like Stalinism.
