If Utopia exists, would you want to go and live there? Or do you oppose their system? And why?

I don't believe in a possibility of existing utopia, but if it really exists, I will be a black person who will try to break a system, persuading everybody to think freely and creatively. Even if it will be a quite dark way of thinking because only in the case of fighting of light and darkness a great and brand new art or science or philosophy decision may be born. I've read a great essay on the issue on the https://edubirdie.com/annotated-bibli... . Great service! I like how they write
One of the things I took away from this book was the relativity of utopias.
If the choice was between the England on Moore's time that Utopia compares to, I would. Even if I had to be a slave (not the case for Nonsenso, but he mention that immigrants from neighbouring countries prefer to be slaves in Utopia rather than citizens in their own countries), I would prefer to be a well-fed slave with the hopes of someday gaining respect and freedom over starving to death or being hanged for stealing food in England.
But compared to my current living situations, I wouldn't. Materially, I have it pretty good (this mostly means my computer, that would not have been invented in Utopia, and all the food I can eat). And I would loose some personal freedoms very dear to me, such as never having to be married if I prefer not to and freedom of religion (the Utopians have that only for monotheistic religions and despise atheists).

If Utopia exists, I would come there to travel but not living. It's so boring to stay there whole life. How can people feel happy if they can't experience evil
