I don't think she was saying that it would only be a nuturing, caring society, but that it was one possibility out of many to consider. That's what I got out of it anyway. Besides, it's too simple and utopian for my taste, I want the intrigue!
Personally, I would LOVE to see how the "pursuit of power" would work out, to see how corruption and "evilness" (though what is evil and what is not is a matter of opinion and can vary by culture) carry over, to what extent, and if there are any differences.
Who knows? It could be exactly the same, or worse, like you said. It's still fascinating to think about :D
