When the ultimate goal is reached, society will be most complex, yet peaceful.

While the idea of a communist society as utopic seems comprehensible, the idea of a capitalist society as utopic is not as easily grasped. In order for Spencer's form of a utopia to obtain, there necessarily must be a winner in the intraclass conflict. When a winner emerges out of this conflict, there is, by definition, no more conflict. Without any additional intraclass conflict the notion of capitalism vanishes. Yet without capitalism, his entire argument collapses, ceding Marx as the victor in this philosophical discourse.
