Just to explain this a little, Ludwig von Mises book "<a href="https://mises.org/library/human-action-0">Human Action</a>" - you can download digital versions or buy an edition, the pocket edition is particularly nice and resembles a soft-cover bible (I used to own this book, I think my mother has it now) - uses utilitarianism and argues for it, because of the axiomatic nature of utilitarianism.

In utilitarianism, any theory or action that does not actually produce the intended result, should be rejected. It is upon this basis that he concludes that socialism can't work, because of the calculation problem preventing the most optimal utilisation of resources, which is a fancy way of saying 'so everyone is richer'.

After talking with @xanoxt, we were talking about using smart contracts and blockchains to structure the means of production, and I realised with such a scheme, you can have stages in a production that the workers literally can own the machines, they buy the necessary components from other production units, and then sell them to the next in the production line, and so on. 

What caused the lighbulb moment was realising that this amounts to a means to implementing Syndicalism, one of the otherwise worst types of socialism, that has historically involved a lot of senseless destruction of property. 

But this structure could actually work, and allow a production process to become extremely agile, adapting rapidly to the demand of consumers, and allow mutable production stations to switch from one role to another quickly if the operators have the necessary skills. 

This of course becomes very relevant in the case of robotic manufacture, like CNC and 3d printing devices. They do not need retooling to alter the product, it just requires the model.

@xanoxt and I often have a little bit of disagreement about communism and Karl Marx, but I have now got a label that I'm pinning to myself, from here on in. I am a utilitarian. All things humans do is motivated by the uses they have. It is implied that utilitarianism does not reject socialism, because of any other reason than it does not work (the calculation problem).

Sometimes a bad theory is just misapplied. Communism is an example - it cannot function in a hierarchic system. But without the hierarchic system of private (personal cannot truly be separated because otherwise we slip into grey areas about when it's ok to rob or kill someone who did not first do this crime). Well, and then, I have to do some more thinking about how to fit this into my model. But obviously, suffice it to say that not being robbed is a utility, so it cannot be forgotten.
