Your little role play will get millions killed aren't you worried about that?
well, there will be the nukes and powerful/ideologically-committed/true friends in the east and the global south... that will act as deterrents... look at the support russia gives still to syria.
of course, threat of regime-change will be constant in such a changed political system, so must be said that north korea did say "i told you so" to libya in 2011 for the latter having shut-down its nuclear/chemical weapons program earlier... so if nukes or presumed existence of nukes keeps the wolf away, why not have a changed system??
Otherwise..no one even bothered to know who is Pramod Muthalik is...It is the so called secular parties who just played too much of minority card for which even nuts like Pramod Muthalik is getting a space for Hindu people....
the ladies who were beaten up infamously by muthalik's group in 2009 in mangalore, the the group didn't know or care which lady was hindu, muslim and christian.
and certainly, he and his group didn't parachute from space for the incident and then vanish back into the depths of space... they were from the city and region, living typical lives... they are not "fringe elements"... his criminal act not getting him locked away permanently points to the level of acceptable for his types among the masses... sad but true.
Dear friend...i am not a great knowledgeble person like you...But suggest me, in your ideal of socialism, how a class and religion of people is prioritized??? And what is your opinion with it?...Suppose a scheme is made for poor people irrespective of religion? Does socialism support it or socialim support schemes based on religion??..
firstly, thank you for the compliment.
1. class
one of the wishes of a socialist revolution is to remove the system of "economic class" and bring everyone to the same level of comfort and facilities... various societies have achieved this to varying degrees... a person is spiritually calm when his material needs are provided without him struggling... housing, water, electricity, food, petrol, transportation, loans etc when obtained easily by any person in a society will lead to at least economic class being eradicated... for example, libyan jamahiriya.
below is how any citizen in libyan jamahiriya lived...
1. any person interested in engaging in farming was given free land by the system, along with seeds, tools needed and housing, for free.
2. electricity and water was free ( that too in a largely desert country ), and libya had history's largest irrigation system, "the great man-made river" project ( gmmr ).
3. housing for any citizen was to be lived rent-free until the resident wished... rent was considered a compromise on the freedom of the citizen and therefore anti-human.
4. medical system was free, and if treatment was available outside, the costs would be borne by the system.
5. education system was free, and if that course was available outside, the costs would be borne by the system.
6. education was of one's choice and could not be forced by parents or circumstance.
7. food was at low cost.
8. any person interested in establishing a business was given a start-up amount of 20,000 dollars, interest-free.
9. all loans were interest-free.
10. no private banks operated in libya.
11. for a person not in employment, he or she was given the average salary ( stipend ) for the person's choice of field of employment... in fact, this was a coming-down in later years from the early days of the al-fatah revolution... in 1979, a unemployed person was given 7000 dollars per month !!
12. libyan jamahiriya being socialist, all wasteful traditions were frowned upon, like 600-guest four-day weddings like what happens in south asia.
13. at weddings, the bride and groom were together given 50,000 dollars to help them set up a new home etc.
14. car purchase was subsidized by the system.
2. religion
current or past socialist/socialistic societies in west asia, africa, south america, ussr and south-east asia saw every citizen as a human first irrespective of his belief in islam, christianity, buddhism or animism.
socialism is meant to bring progressive change to everyone irrespective of a citizen's religious belief, as long as those beliefs don't contradict the desire of the socialist revolution in making the society harmonious and calm... obviously, reactionary attitude arising from religious background ( any religion ) will be overthrown by the revolution.
to answer your question, a socialist government ( a government of the people ) will implement and provide schemes to every citizen without asking for his religion.
