Summary/Abstract: The essay explores the failed project of a Romanian phalanx in Scăieni village (1835-1836), established by Teodor Diamant and Manolache Bălăceanu, the second in the world after the phalanx developed in Conde-sur-Vesgres (1833-1835), based on the ideas of the early socialist thinker Charles Fourier. It also conveys the process of rewriting history concerning the Scăieni phalanx: from the eulogies of former social-democrat leaders, Const.-Titel Petrescu, and communist historians Z. Ornea and I. Cojocaru to the analytical imprecations of liberal historians as Sorin Antohi who equalizes every utopian experiment with a dystopian and totalitarian regime.
