Government Essay of a Reasonable Religious Teen; A Draft and Introduction to Social Localism Video

EDIT: I am now an atheist.
Here is the text of my essay, remember, this is a rough draft and I want your input:
An Economic System of which shall bring about Utopia
First; extreme regulation of All businesses of Government interest particularly the industries of Munitions and Firearms until they go bankrupt. The Government will then buy up the Industry and force by implication all workers of the Industry into the military. The military will then be withdrawn into the Country and put to work in various other Industries, they will work for almost nothing because of their salary from the government so it will drive most people out of work. Without work they will support a welfare state: this is a push in the Right direction.
Taxes would have to be monumentally raised to support the bits of Society that lose their jobs, and doctors and CEOs will be making the equivalent of a construction worker. Rather than taxing income, wealth and inheritance shall be taxed. This will destroy the aristocracy Or Ruling Class of the country. All large properties will be drawn up by the Government and put to better use such as hospitals etc. that would be government run and provide healthcare at no cost. ALL medical procedures will become subsidized by and paid for by the Government. All potential doctors will be receiving a free education, provided by a special voucher or bank note to be redeemed by the various Medical Colleges around the country. Medical students will have no reason to expect monumental returns when they are not paying monumental tuition.
Education will be made federally mandatory up to age 22. All shall attend some form of college standardized testing will determine who goes where. All of this will be paid for by those massive taxes on wealth and inheritance. Universities will slowly be converted to entirely public entities. All private schools will be banned from operating on weekdays (which would now include Saturday). This would prevent the wealthy from getting a better education and the children of religious to not receive instruction that could prevent them from having an understanding of the sciences. Religious instruction would be limited to Sundays (a Sunday School Rule.)
The Broadcast industry will slowly become Government owned due to the Government buying out all means of Telecasting all phone companies, all satellites, and all television stations and film studios. They shall function as a government propaganda machine to lull the unintelligent that MUST exist due to statistics and to get the more intelligent to take action against these systems. Eventually the government will fold and end all telecasting and long-distance communication other than the internet, which will be bought up by the government by purchasing the Googles of the world.
All of this will lead to revolution. The government will become too big and it will collapse on itself. People would stop being concerned with money because there is no economy. All the big Industry, all the communications suddenly stop. We would get blown back to the Stone Age and would have to rely one another the way we should. Everyone would see the advantage of mutual altruism in this local world. It would bring us happiness and peace for the entire world to adopt this strategy.

davfritz: Sorry to inform you that your audio has virtualy failed. You can scarcely he heard. I suspect your microphone is too far from you.

Fuzzysnakebird: My laptop speakers can play this and I can hear it. Try turning up your "software" volume.

Fuzzysnakebird: I included the entire essay on the right under view details.

davfritz: Hey... you are obviously online.. hi. I did turn volume to max... didn't help. Headphones made the difference. Anyway, I see two problems with your concepts (you are like me in thought when I was yr age!).... one is the tendancy for leadsers to become corrupt, not only as individuals but collectively. The other is that when faced with hard decisions, the easy answer that provides for the "now" at the cost of the future is taken rather than visa versa. In other words, the human nature of leaders

Fuzzysnakebird: Well I would appreciate it if you would post a response for this vid.

davfritz: I will asap! Perhaps within about 48 hours

TheBestInterest: Interesting. I do not like how there would still be religion. But if you provide education for all then over time it would eventually die. I also do not like how you abolish all long distance relations, through the fall of communication. I think this would leave poorer regions behind. These regions may need assistance with technology. But overall it is not a bad idea. Pretty ideal though, and I doubt it would work so smoothly.

Fuzzysnakebird: I realize that this was extremely optimistic, but I think technology needs to have a smaller role in our lives. If you remember, your brother thought that corporations controlled everything but the internet (which isn't logical to me... I mean who powers and funds the internet?) so if there was no telecommunications there would be nothing to control. The Sunday School Rule is a compromise, because I attended a Catholic school but I think Baptists shouldn't be getting screwed over.

TheBestInterest: I disagree. I think that there are tons of things for people to seek power over. I think that these means of communication are essential. I would also say that I find it extremely unlikely that Utopia would come about through means of localization. I think that you are moving in the wrong direction. I think it would more likely come about by global unity. I just can't see all the nations of the world doign something like this independently. It should be a global movement.

Fuzzysnakebird: Well it would require a world government first. I think government is actually an inherently bad idea although I support more liberal causes than conservative.

MrMrPanPan: Dude, you would love 1984...

Fuzzysnakebird: What's that supposed to mean? That was a depiction of a soviet style government that had much too much technology-wise.

MrMrPanPan: It is not supposed to me an anything other than you would like to read 1984 or see the movie. If you already have not.

Fuzzysnakebird: I have, I have. I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be a negative comment because, to me, that wouldn't make any sense when that is the opposite of what I was proposing.

MrMrPanPan: The movie suggestions are not meant to be a response to the specifics of your essay. I have often thought along the same lines as you; To bring citizens down to 0 and then re-define social expectations, thereby re-defining pleasure and pain. But maybe 1984 is not so different. Both your model and 1984's could be said to reach a similar goal in different ways. Both models serve as examples for social control. Both models lower competition.

sukisaidso: Your youth is aptly illustrated here. I do hope you continue to ponder the effects that would come of your ideal government. Another book that would probably interest you would be Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.

kikrlbs: Watch "The Money Masters" guy. You can watch it for free on google. Lincoln had the right idea, (other than slavery)

dancndanny: read "Atlas Shrugged"

Fuzzysnakebird: Well, I already have actually. It wasn't very good. I thought the points it tried to make were null and void -you have no rights unless they are given to you -but who are they given by? God some say. Others say the government. Others say it comes from human nature itself. I don't know where it comes from, but the idea of "not-rights" and rights is ridiculous.
