    So you're advocating for classic anarcho-liberalism or for a global government with free movement of peoples?

    Merely saying that you think the current situation is stupid,wrong, or obselete is a cop out of having to actually try and find solutions. What can be done now on this issue that would be in line with your future global government or lack of government? The least you could do is expound on how the current situation would be resolved in your hypothetical world. Would people just move where ever they wanted?

    I've meant too many 'anarchists' in college that really just want to be in opposition to everything and denounce government, private property, and the use of money. Please make yourself a little different from my former roommates that would complain if someone ate 'their' frozen pizza or drank 'their beer' and didn't do their share to clean and maintain the community areas such as the living room and bathroom.

    @ Hussar You're a socialist right? Why aren't you on board with the older socialist/communist idea that immigration is just a tool of the capitalists to undermine the strength of trade unions and prevent reforms from ever happening? Doesn't this "reserve army of labour/Industrielle Reservearmee" prevent the achievement of socialist goals by allowing the capitalists to keep wages depressed and workers vulnerable?

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
