The 'creative class' is considered in terms of a contemporary rising class. Its role in social production is increasing around it are formed production, cultural and other relations, which become decisive according to the foreseeable historical perspective. The article defines the rising class as one that has, at least potentially, the greatest productivity. Therefore, in order to find the place in the social structure in which modern utopias are born, it is necessary to locate the 'rising class'. Contemporary utopian consciousness should be considered taking into account that: (a) utopias are inextricably linked with capitalism (b) they serves its transformation (defining its 'spirit' by its criticism) in transition from one stage to another (c) they are an expression of the worldviews and aspirations of social groups (classes) rising at different stages of capitalism. A utopia is always a 'function of the real' (Labica, 2004, p. 291).

However, if we approach utopias from the point of view of their objectively executable functions, their primary content is no longer utopian in the usual sense. The present article discusses the legitimacy of the question: Are we really living in the era of 'the end of utopias'? It is argued that a positive response to this question is possible only if, when considering utopias, their predominantly 'left' content, left phraseology and the declaration of left anti-capitalist goals are placed at the forefront.
