Etienne Cabet, 19th century utopian, precursor of communism, played an active part in French politics and even founded a utopian society in Texas , later in Ilinois, on the ruins of a Mormon settlement. He exposed his social and political theories in his book ''Voyage en Icarie'' , which gave the name '' Icariens'' to his followers.
