WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses — even against their will — for private economic development.

It was a decision fraught with huge implications for a country with many areas, particularly the rapidly growing urban and suburban areas, facing countervailing pressures of development and property ownership rights.

So am I understanding this right when they're saying that corporations can now flex local governments to take our private property now?

but the US is the beacon of freedom and liberty nga.

We're just another peg on the globalist agenda

[mapleleaf4ever]

Beacon of Freedom? You read the News... that was in the 90's man. Now everyone looks at them as a "Free Empire of Oppression and Censorship". Like every Empire, it's going to fall. We're approaching the brink of it I believe. The EU gets stronger and the US is slowly pulling itself apart internally.

Anyway, the point is we're inching ever closer to the goals of International Communism everyday.

thats funny because all these private ventures are actually capitalist ones.

if anything its a triumph of corporate interest over property rights.


and guess what, you lose again.

as for the planks of communism, that has always existed, as the government has always retained the right to expropriate land for public policies/development. so guess what this change in law is completely the opposite of what you claim it is.

the thing is.... it doesn't really matter how badly the US is pulling itself apart internally.

as soon as the US puts in their air defense system that can difuse nuclear bombs / air missiles etc thrown into their air space safely and effectively LOOK OUT they'll be unstoppable !

they already have the tech. developed they just need the money to put it in, which they probably have for the most part..

Well it's just another step really.

Under communism, all private property is state owned. In this case, all private property is state sanctioned. Almost no difference.

And what would influence their decision on who gets what property?? hmm, could it be the same ones that they own or have major stakes in???

Let's not get entrenched in semantics and trying to prove me wrong at all costs

Communism is about state regulation of every part of our lives, and you've lost sight of that cocksmack

Chinese Peasants Attacked in Land Dispute

At Least 6 Die as Armed Thugs Assault Villagers Opposed to Seizure of Property

SHENGYOU, China -- Hundreds of men armed with shotguns, clubs and pipes on Saturday attacked a group of farmers who were resisting official demands to surrender land to a state-owned power plant, witnesses said. Six farmers were killed and as many as 100 others were seriously injured in one of China's deadliest incidents of rural unrest in years.

The farmers, who had pitched tents and dug foxholes and trenches on the disputed land to prevent the authorities from seizing it, said they suspected the assailants were hired by corrupt local officials. They said scores of villagers were beaten or stabbed and several were shot in the back while fleeing.

[...]

The seizure of farmland by local officials to build roads, dams, factories and other projects, often for personal profit, has emerged as an increasingly volatile issue in the Chinese countryside, where the government owns all land and gives farmers only long-term leases. Peasants often complain they are unfairly compensated when officials confiscate their plots, and have staged hundreds of protests over the issue in recent years.

[...]

Residents said the men arrived in six white buses before dawn, most of them wearing hard hats and combat fatigues, and they struck without warning, repeatedly shouting "Kill!" and "Attack!" Police failed to respond to calls for help until nearly six hours later, residents said, long after the assailants had departed.

Access to firearms is strictly regulated in China, but villagers said the men fired on them with hunting shotguns and flare guns. They also wielded metal pipes fitted with sharp hooks on the end. Because of the preparation, residents suggested the men might have ties to organized crime groups working with local officials.
