If a man in this Communist state lived on a farm, and he and his family built that farm with their own work, and developed the land with their own work, I would generally consider that to be his land. If he chose to secede from that Communist state, and chose to take his land with him, I would support him in that.
If a man had no property he called his own, his right of secession would still be upheld. He could leave. If his family wanted to stay, well.. that's their choice.
If a person is free to secede, free to leave and take his property with him, and is there by choice... it doesn't matter whether or not you approve of how he chooses to live his life, he is in fact free. If it's simply ignorance that prevents him to leave... educate him. But using force to "free him" from his own ignorance I strongly disapprove of. (not that you would. but it sounds like you would not object to that)
