I have been thinking of this issue since I read the article on Rush and listened to Levins show the other night.
I was trying to think of how these policies would be implemented. The only thing that I could imagine it that the old time-honored standby: let the vandals loose to loot and pillage the countryside. Withdraw law enforcement from the rural areas that these policies would be supported to depopulate the countryside.
Only wealthy with security (read standing armies) would be able to stay in the countryside. This is becomeing more and more like 18th and 19th century England when the lands men were run off and the lands reverted to the nobility and gentry.
We are paddling way backwards folks.
The goal has been to recreate landed elite for sometime now. It is part of the cycle of history.
