Spot What Is Missing in Christchurch Rebuild – And People’s Heads.

Front page of today’s Press:

‘Landowners in proposed central Christchurch retail precincts have been warned to speed up negotiations or face compulsory acquisition …’

Roger Sutton – CERA

What’s missing? Answer: Freedom; based, as freedom is, on property rights. Not a skerrick left. I'm assuming the reference to 'landowners' is purely ironic, for what sort of 'negotiations' are possible with a state that can and will compulsorily take your property anyway. And how did it come to farcical this? Easy to see; from Twitter:

@markhubbard33 It's not your wealth that's being redistributed but that of the community.

To which I can best end with my reply:

@dracotbastard You rotten slime. Crawl back under your rock, Mr Stalin. In the free West, there won't be a worse post than you just did.

Communist, Fascist, we’re some shade of either or both, whatever, no free society to be found in New Zealand; not anymore, it just daily stuns me how far we’re moved away from it down our road to serfdom.


Update 1:

Note how @dracotbastard, who has above just recommended the complete nationalisation of all private property in New Zealand, is yet another anonymous poster, like this hypocrite and her hate site, and yet another member of the Left whom, when the bright white light of Freedom is momentarily shone into the void of their darkness, has blocked me on Twitter. There's quite a list now.
