More an "ultra-conservative?" Hardly.

Unless communism is so described. In his book, "Utopia," More dispenses with private property. Of course, such an intellect is hard to squeeze into the narrow definitions of our day.
"More might have chosen the literary device of describing an imaginary nation primarily as a vehicle for discussing controversial political matters freely. Some have speculated that More based his Utopia on monastic communalism, which is itself based on the Biblical communalism described in the Acts of the Apostles."
