Aw, I was hoping for an authoritarian approach. :'(

That’s the beauty of libertarianism Will.  You can choose authoritarianism if you wish, and better yet, you get to be your dictator!  You can be harsh, merciful, stern, benevolent, totalitarian, even communist, your call, all of it with yourself as your own world-wide nano-empire, or world-wide 150 pico-empire you think a couple digits of precision or really necessary.  You can require yourself to shout Heil Me.  If you do that however, be sure to wear eye protection for the salute. 

If you choose nano-authoritarianism, you can choose to take from you according to your abilities and you give to you according to your needs.  If you go this auto-commie approach, the abilities and needs always match exactly (depending on how you define abilities and needs) because they define each other, and it fits perfectly too, since you are free to define both for yourself.

Hey I like it.  If asked my political persuasion, I will respond that I am a nano-communist, dedicated to self-discipline.  Totalitarian branch in my case, since I reserve for myself the final unquestionable authority on every command I give me.  I may enforce any punishment I wish upon me, and I don’t even need a trial, because I already know if I am guilty or innocent, being the judge, jury and jailer.

The old time theorists were right all along, or were sorta right.  Nano-communism results in Utopia.  I really like it in here (my head) even if I must confess it isn’t a very big place.  I should perhaps call it the pico-Utopia (since nano-Utopia is already taken to mean something else) led by an autocratic microlomaniac. 

Life is good when one is a nano-communist, set on world-wide self domination.
