Dream journal: The one where I start a spiritual movement

This one I had several days ago.

I end up founding this spiritual order which has 'centers' where people can live and stay for as long as they like, as long as they help in the running of the place. Food, boarding, and basic community are facilitated. They are allowed to do their own jobs, make money, whatever, as long as they help around, and follow the rules of the place. The organization runs its own schools, hospitals, and public transport, open for everyone but with higher priority to the members of the organization. Everyone is allowed to keep their own religious beliefs, with the understanding they will not bring their personal beliefs into 'work' or community, particularly in terms of education and healthcare. Everything is means-tested. I fire a reliable and trustworthy colleague because they suggest 'creationism' as an alternative 'opinion' for science books to be taught in school.

We get several billionaires who're sick of everything and want a reset donate their entire net worth to the organization, poor as everyone else as the organization expands. The organization grows in size and influence as more people find comfort in the socialist-leaning economic system of it, versus the hardships of the American system that doesn't care for the poorest and the weakest. Another point of note, our living quarters are lot more compact and efficient, while following regular hygiene standards to avoid communicable diseases. There are no moral limitations, beyond what people's religions may already have, in addition to the obvious law of the law. The housing situation is arranged so that persons across generations end up living close-by -- the elderly subsidize the living expenses of the young in exchange for companionship and assistance. The old and the retired are called upon to use their life experience to plan and help organize various projects, as a show of respect for their age and wisdom. Wisdom is taken after careful consideration.

Soon, the organization is running multiple large schools, hospitals, subsidized groceries, basic transportation in all the major cities. The minor cities of the South turn around and come in faster. At a point, a third of Americans or inhabitants of America are affiliated with the organization and consider themselves to be beneficiaries of it in various ways. The American government sees how a much lesser well-funded and small institution has gained favor over its excessive projects, and decides upon a course of action. It changes its policies to closely match that of the organization. In the end, member of the organization get elected in all the major government institutions, in various bureaucracies and judicial agencies and law enforcement agencies. The political governance of the organization and the nation becomes the same until a point when the government takes over it. There are no major disruptions during the transition of power.

I resign from the organization, and start another, more radical organization from scratch.
