Summary/Abstract: The difference between theory and practice is sometimes defining when we analyze a subject, regardless of its nature. This is also the case between the political theory and political practice, and in this paper, we will further restrict the field of study to the difference between political utopia and how it was reflected in the political practice of the twentieth century, more specifically we will try to discover how the political utopia of Plato was applied by the Romanian communism.
