Would lead to nonproductive people starving, and likely killing productive people over their resources when they got the chance. Then society would collapse. That's assuming productive people didn't band together in some way to avoid this (cast out the poor? kill?). Starvation directly increases aggression and violence while decreasing higher cognitive function. What would probably solve all our problems in one generation is a form of eugenics where you had to EARN the right to reproduce by proving you are able to be a productive member of society by an objective standard. We could still feed people on welfare basic rations and allow them to try and become active participants in society. This would be the most humane way to stabilize society IMO.

Under Emergency Nation rules socialists and other violent religions are exiled.

You are also exiled if you can't pay the yearly citizen fee or do service instead.
