I suppose that is possible, but not likely. Did you ever stop to wonder how a "successful society" (your words) got to be that way in the first place? Maybe they know what they're doing?

Yeah, let's not have "too many changes" in society. It would be so much better to just STAGNATE and have everyone be the same. Right? Do you even SEE the idiocy of your statements? You claim to not be a "communist", and yet ALWAYS use words like "socially engineered society" and "regime", etc... STFU and go away. .... Ignorance can be cured.
