No, it's not Ceaucescu, it's Stalin who said "Where there's a man, there's a problem. Nobody, no problem."

Either everyone would own so much land that oh this is french utopia, we all burgeois, either no one would own any because they could not afford the real estate tax. In current industrialized world you don't need much land for high price microproccesors for example and not even that much land for agriculture, so land would start being useless. Having killed that much people would leave large unhabited areas, with no guard, with wild animals. US might even get lions and coming out of the cave problems. <blockquote>Obviously some of those would be able to beg or borrow the sum, but anyway</blockquote> иисраѥл is willing to support debt-slavery.
