average utilitarianism says you should kill anyone who has below average utility
This assumes that killing people with low utility has absolutely no effect on the utility of anyone else, and that living in a world where you will be killed if you’re not happy enough has no negative effect on your happiness. This is, to put it mildly, completely and totally false without very radically altering the human mind.
On a related note, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
