Control of religion is a goal of the atheistic Communist government. Any who will not join the government- regulated Three Self Patriotic Movement or the Catholic Patriotic Association risk paying heavily in an attempt to eliminate the spread of religion.
The current (as of 2011) government in Iran is strongly influenced by religion, or rather by religious intolerance. As a result of their particular interpretation of religion, women have hardly any rights, anybody who changes his religion from Islam to some other religion risks his life (for "apostasy"), and religious minorities (especially the bahá'ís) suffer a lot of persecution.
Shintoism is a animistic religion heavily based around spirits and animals.
When the government does not heavily participate in the control, growth, or regulation of business, it is referred to as a "laissez-faire" economic policy. This approach emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing market forces to dictate business operations and economic outcomes. Laissez-faire promotes free enterprise and competition, with the belief that this leads to greater efficiency and innovation.

All plays include theatrical symbolism. It is very difficult to find any play that is without symbolism, but some rely on it more heavily than others. For example in the play Hedda Gabler, a gun hangs on the wall over shadowing the play with the power to take someone's life.
It will likely be the groups that already rely heavily upon their government. People who are on welfare or other government assistance. While they may not support the potential control of their everyday lives, it may be easier for them to accept total government control of the economy. There are some groups who already wish for a totalitarian form of government, so they will be happy with it. Those who are disheartened and see no hope without government intervention will also likely by supportive of total government control.
