True deregulation would result in a form of psuedoregulation eventually.

Companies would abuse people and behave unethically. Workers would get angry. Eventually workers would organize and employers would have to follow worker demands to be able to continue operations.

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.

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.

Making laws about what people think is called tyranny, not socialism.

Using violence justifies further escalation. if you punch me for not using your pronouns (especially if I don't know them) you deserve to either go to jail or get punched back.

Violence begets violence. We are nominally adults. We can use words and choose not to associate with others instead of being the aggressor.

So in communism individuals own the means of production? Otherwise the farm is owned by the government.

It's also 24/7 so there'd be people working weird hours. Capital gets that work done even in communist countries (capital or direct coercion).
