I understand something similar has been suggested in several science fiction stories. Not as the author's ideal for a future, but as a grim outlook.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
