But I've always wondered if they need the tech or the land more. If it is the tech only, why not resort to industrial espionage or just kidnapping the key engineers from TSMC? Where does the core value of TSMC line on? It is the know-h

Right, thanks for pointing this out. I forgot to mention the problems of scale. My answer to this would be that democracy shall be fixed on the smaller scale first (municipality, city etc) where people can feel the effects immediately (e.g.

It would have been nice if it was so simple. However, I don't think the process you described can be carried out without major turmoil in US/EU. It would probably include a default on the US debt or at least hyperinflation (soft d
