  Such a proposition is unrealistic. It’s his family’s land, he’s the heir. At least he surrenders it to the government, unlike most land-owners.

    It’s his family’s land, he’s the heir.

    His family has avoided inheritance tax for centuries. It’s totally realistic. Look at all the Republican countries.

        Those heads of state don’t have Intergenerational wealth built over centuries. Monarchy is corruption on a totally different scale.

    Communist and anti-colonialist land reforms show that such a proposition is not unrealistic at all you are just a bootlicker monarchist.

        China is currently on track to beat the west at its own game, and this is post maoist land reform. So regardless of whether you believe China is communist or not, their land reform has functioned perfectly well and has produced a system that is at least as functional as what we have in the west.
