The foremost big-government regulation(1) of the agricultural city-State (civilization) is a Land enTITLEment program that restricts the free movement of Non-State society families to gambol about plain and forest(2) to forage (gather and hunt) as sovereign individuals.(3)

Who wants Gambol Lockdown deregulation?

Certainly not the Mises-Marx axis of agricultural city-Statists.

Officer, am I free to gambol about plain and forest?

MARX: NO!
MISES: NO!
