Women would automatically have no say over their own lives; Gentiles would have second class citizenship. Jews who aren't as pious as these rabbis want them to be would have third class citizenship. Any idea or invention that was not approved in advance by these sages would be condemned. It's as authoritarian a world as anything Osama bin Laden would want. Their main problem with the modern state of Israel is twofold: it was not established in the way they want; and it is not as intolerant of non-Orthodox Jews as they want.
