I went to the thesaurus. I found positive terms- but also terms like "radical", "grandiose", "impractical", "illusory" "pretentious" "unreal", "unrealistic", "unfeasible", "zealot", "unworkable" and "utopian". IMO utopian can be a very negative term, and I think most people who know the term understand that- since utopian ideas so often turn out to be dystopias in practice. The USSR, China, Nazi Germany- all were conceived as utopias.

So I think we'll disagree on idealist. But we agree on misguided.
