Good analysis of AOL. I would like to add that another example of how the AOL wasn't the utopia that it seemed was the pervasive use of chora trees. The effects of the chora tree sound similar to the effects of smoking marijuana*. An effective way to keep everyone peaceful perhaps but a drug-induced utopia is quite similar to Rand's Utopia.
