I think that what happens is that people only listen to calls for utopia when they are discontent. This discontent is used by ambitious characters to take power, frequently in the name of utopia.

- jwhitlark 11y agoWhile you make a valid point, one of the major problems with utopian visions is they offer an infinite good, so they give cover to commit anything up to infinite evil. I think offering paradise throws our moral calculations out of whack, which is one reason they do seem to lead to large numbers of casualties.
