Stockholm Syndrome is an interesting phenomenon. Most people have a strong need to feel part of a tribal system to give them identity. Communism with property held tribally by the chief with the proletariat as serfs is the norm though it has had different names at times. <As a resident of Team USA, I'm not very interested in tradable citizenships. Americans can easily move to another state or region to seek economic opportunity or different weather. > Is there any particular reason you are so keen on communism, with property held by the state rather than by the individual? I realize you can personally own a tooth brush, car and a house [though not the land which is owned by the state in eminent domain with individuals having only a perpetual lease, which can be terminated at will by the state]. It seems you simply haven't understood the idea rather than that you like the communist lifestyle, since the reasons you gave are irrelevant to the issue. It's not a matter of weather selection or moving to different parts of the same political system. It's a matter of ownership of value and being able to dispose of that value as you see fit. Mqurice
