### Well, you are postulating a technological solution - a total
substitution of automation for labor. This indeed could work. Once humans
become totally superfluous, owners of space (land, interplanetary space,
etc.) and of the automated means of production could then dispose of them.
Yes, it would be nice to be one of those few thousands to rule the world.
However, I'd like to hear a way of anarchically controlling immigration
*before* the AI arrives.

### No, I didn't mean Zimbabwe. That is a brutal racist slaughterhouse, not
the advanced anarchy we talk about.
But how can you arm yourself effectively if the number of your enemies
(immigrant peons) is potentially far greater than what you can mobilize, and
they can collectively build up a much larger arsenal than you alone?
