If you trace back the world paradise it comes from the Greek "paradeisos" which means enclosed park.
We often associate the paradise with a good thing like a place free of evil, the image of an exotic island might probably come to your mind, or the biblical myth from the book of Genesis.
Where God created the human beings to take care of the Garden of Eden, a garden is basically a prison a fenced up piece of land that is controlled by one or small group of individuals in such a way to profit from everything that lives on that piece of land.
The key characteristic of a paradise is prohibition, because without prohibition all the elements of nature will find a different equilibrium that it won't allow you to profit from it anymore, all the living things will pursue their own individual agenda. So in order to maintain the profitability of the paradise there are some things that you are allowed to do and not do in a paradise that are imposed on you by the authority. For which if you do there wouldn't be any natural negative consequence.
In the archietypical paradise of the bible, knowledge about the good and evil was prohibited, because if human beings would find out about good and evil it will make them feel self conscious. From being self aware they would soon figure out that they can become good or evil themselves.
Which means that instead of following the command of God without any resistance, now they have to be worry about not doing the wrong thing. Which made human beings to distance themselves from the agenda of God.
I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing because I do not have a full understanding of the biblical text. That might miss the point entirely to, perhaps the purpose of the story is simply to illustrate the trap of controlling other living things and attempting to prohibit certain things.
It seems like human beings are desperately trying to return to that state of innocence, by rearranging the world in such a way to become a paradise that could work.
Pretty much all the political ideologies, innovations, and most of our efforts are dedicated to managing our anxiety that comes from the fact that we are self conscious.
In the attempt of finding a long lasting paradise, we are doing the same mistake over and over. Like a person that starts a diet that requires to get in a stage of semi starvation, it will eventually get to a point when his urge to eat will overpower his desire to be skinny.
So he is going to go on a binge and gain all the weight back plus some extra because the body now sees himself as being in a deficient environment so is going to up the desire to eat to accumulate a reserve to survive the starvation period. Until someone else tells him about a new diet that will totally work and is different, because this time you have to partially starve yourself with salad instead of chicken breasts.
And you probably already guessed that the outcome of the new diet is going to be the same as the outcome of the first diet. Because the person is making the same mistakes, and only has the illusion that he is trying something new.
We pretty much do the same with politics and the way we organize the world, we are constantly looking for the thing that is preventing people to thrive in order to prohibit that thing, and when that falls we get a little more corrupt and dysfunctional. Until someone else comes up with a new idea or philosophy about what is bad and we should never do etc.
The true enemy of man is not evil, I could argue that evil is beneficial when it exist in an equilibrium, the true enemy of man is prohibition.
