That's the great dilemna, going all the way back to the Spanish colonization of the Americas. From the start, vast county-sized tracts were given by the king to cronies as their personal property in perpetuity. Now it's coming to a head again, but as you say, we don't want a Castro-ite like Chavez doling out the land. In general, tiny family plots have proven to be financial losers; the small landholders can't afford the mechanization etc. I think we're in for another wave of neo-Marxism across Latin America. Nicaragua, Brazil, Venezuela, Equador, Bolivia are all turning socialist, which will only worsen their failing economies.
The Anointed One's "plan" to avert that is to throw open our borders as a "safety valve", importing both latin American marxist poverty and banana republic plutocracy to our own nation.
