Republicans abolish capitalism!

Submitted by fire with fire on Sat, 11/29/2025 - 12:06pm

Even I am getting bored with all these cries for money from the wingnut faithful based on the purported Blue electoral and fundraising skunking the red efforts to make America great again.
This morning's song of red woe came accompanied by this seemingly irrelevant lamentation:

Red state becomes first in the nation to SEIZE Chinese-owned U.S. farmland

FIRST: Chinese nationals bought up hundreds of thousands of acres of our land.

THEN: Joe Biden filed LEGAL ACTION to let them purchase even more.

NOW: Republicans are leading the way to take back our land!

I could not find out which state has expropriated land bought by people from China or why that is any different from Soviet Communism, where the State seizes control over the economy, including agriculture.

Does anybody who pays more attention to the news than me know which state has kicked off this purge?

China Forced to Give Up Land Owned in US

Here one recalls that a large portion of Mark Twain's 1884 novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (toward the end) is dedicated to making fun of the state of Arkansas. If I were to hedge a guess, I would speculate that the seizure is a public relations stunt and that it won't stand up in court.

But, yeah, here one thinks of "primitive accumulation"...

It's a law in Florida. I don't know about other states.

This article describes what happened...

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/us-appeals-court-says-florida-can-ban-chinese-citizens-buying-property-rcna242034

A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday cleared the way for Florida to enforce a law restricting real estate and land purchases by Chinese citizens, rejecting claims that it violates federal law and discriminates against Asians.

The 2-1 ruling by the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could encourage other states to adopt so-called alien land laws, which were once common but fell out of favor a century ago. Lawmakers in more than 30 states have passed or introduced bills restricting foreign property ownership.

recently passed regarding foreign real estate investors. There is a very small window of opportunity for confiscation, but it does bar investment from certain listed countries.
