E, jbe - I recognize it's a model, it might be utopian just as Marx was, so my default is "I don't have the answers". If the topic grows unpleasant - I'll drop it.

Tyranny requires class distinction. The hard prerequisite would be to obviate class. Unlike Lenin I don't imagine that making everybody fat&happy would make greed disappear. And I'm NOT talking about wiping greed off the genetic hard drive! That would be simplistic. And freakin dangerous, assuming it could be done. A high ideal would be "self-determination". So maybe a person's SECOND body would be made to order - by its prospective tenant! Is that less monstrous?
