Speaking for myself, and not Norfy, I'm a big fan of the type of society expoused by RAH in Starship Troopers (the book, not the crappy movie). Citizen is a privilege, not a right, and must be earned. Citizenship has obligations.
EDIT: I also have almost all his books. Started reading him around 1966.
