    I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at, can you elaborate? I’m not advocating making laws about what people are allowed to think, but I’m not sure that’s what you mean

      socialist system must recognize that collective ownership of a state requires power over everything that happens in that state, law, economics, religion, war, everything.

      That’s making laws about what people think. That is not socialism but tyranny.

        Sorry, I think this is just a grammatical confusion, let me fix it:

        socialist system must recognize that collective ownership of a state by the people requires the people have power over everything that happens in that state, law, economics, religion, war, everything.

        I’ll go edit the original comment for clarity

          the people have* power over everything that happens in that state, law, economics, religion, war, everything.

          Misinformation. Socialism does not require people to get involved in each other’s religious activities.

          Do you believe you should have a say over what I do or do not believe?

          If you do, I disagree.

          Your words support the criminalization of abortion on religious grounds.

          Letting government into people’s religious practices is asking for a lot of trouble, and I have a feeling that you’d be just as bothered by it as me.
