Then there is the question of the viability of democracy. It never occurs to a pragmatist to consider whether or not any proposed action by the government, individuals, or corporations is consistent with democracy or undermines it and transforms it into fascism. Corporate power is deemed to be right without question.
Idealists, on the other hand, are the opposite of the pragmatists. If there is anything wrong with the pragmatists' game of civilization, the only hope for creating a society that can survive lies with the idealists.
I rest my case.
