Interesting thinking cr0sh, but how many of us "free" westerners could really afford to move somewhere else, or change jobs on a whim?
I've recently moved 150 miles and I'm really out of pocket. I certainly couldn't quit my job now and still afford to do things like eat and pay my rent.
There are villages and towns in the UK which were built to accommodate factory workers and their families - isolated towns set up in industrially convenient locations (mills next to water, pit towns near a decent seam), totally owned by the factory owner. It's nothing new.
