Utopian and dystopian ideological systems and unintended and adverse consequences

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate mathematically the impossibility of achieving a utopian society. Demonstrate that any attempt to correct deviations from a hypothetical trajectory whose ultimate goal is the utopia, increasingly demands more work, including measures that lead to terror, which may even be absolute, leading to the horrible paradox that in seeking paradise hell is constructed. Design/methodology/approach Scientific tools that the authors have used are: the theory of the system linkage, alysidal algebra, kinematic theory and vector analysis. Findings Myths are the substrate of some complex systems of beliefs and utopia is its ultimate goal. The use of the combination of the theory of trajectories, belonging to the alysidal algebra, the theorem of unintended effects and kinematics theory provides an approximation to deviations suffering utopian ideological currents and their corrections. Originality/value This paper is a continuation of other previous papers developing the theory of complex societies.
