You could form a utopia based on his writings, but not necessarily a primitive one. If his manifesto were accepted religiously by a small population of genetically engineered humans then we could simultaneously advance our scientific knowledge while preventing social decay. More details if you’re interested

elaborate
the logistics don't seem there
isn't genetic modification what he opposed?

I don’t recall much about his writing on genetic engineering. Anyway, if people were designed to be intelligent and were taught the principles of the manifesto and why natural living is important, then we could sustain a decent society for a good while, I think. In a post-war world with no countries—which eliminates the need for competition, and therefore mindless growth—then, “Americans,” for example, could form one central hub of research and development of science and technology, while the rest of the population is assembled into small, self-sufficient villages throughout the country. They would mostly live naturally, but technology could assist their educational and medicinal needs. If this were made into a novel, I would imagine that the villages would have little knowledge of the central Institute, but certain individuals would be selected at the right age to come work for them. This organization would essentially maintain the villages from behind the scenes, assisting in crop engineering, weather modification—if that ever becomes feasible—, health, resource distribution, etc. Everyone would be educated on the dangers of industrialism, decreasing the chance for any rebellion or new ideas. There would be no currency, so no one could gobble up wealth and become too powerful. The whole plan rests on the relatively few, powerful scientists, who have virtually unlimited resources to work with. As long as they remembered the manifesto, then hopefully they would only focus on advancing knowledge. They might invent a new technology, but they wouldn’t just mass produce it unless they believed it were beneficial.

More pictures like that? There is one from the Hyperborean civilization. I dont know what it is with them but they just make me extremly sentimental and inspired
