this is partly true.
there is also Bogdanov to mention (the novel "Red Star"). They believed in a new mankind (here we need to recall the Aristotelian term entelechy, i.e. mankind had to overcome itself through revolution by giving birth to a new society and a new mankind (in da novel "fro" by Platonov main female character clearly speaks 'bout a new mankind in the of the novel lookin' at neighbour boy), which over time will overcome the laws of nature, this is entelechy). In turn, all this is rooted in the utopianism of such philosopher as Fourier.
Yes, they didnt succeed (perhaps so far). There R 2 reasons for this: in Stalin's times, a cynical bureaucrat defeated a romantic revolutionary (Putinism, btw, genetically originates from tose times); the laws of nature had become a very hardly conquered thing.
(Or nature itself prevents self-knowledge. we recall the Strugatsky novel "definitely maybe".) In any case, it's great that mankind is somehow trying to make a metaphysical breakthrough towards utopia, but in the way of it -- mankind -- there's a cynical bureaucrat pulling mankind in da opposite direction -- dystopia (recall 1984 Orwell and Philip K. Dick's Deus Irae).
