"Captain Capitalism" Aaron Clarey lets his full fury loose on a stupid activist today, and really fleshes out her motives. Check it out (PDF)!
It seems that the Belgian state, in the superior economic wisdom only a government can have, has determined that a port must be sited at a specific place. But it seems some evil, heartless woman, "who never starved or missed a meal, who is suffering from some kind of mid-life crisis and looks back at her life and says, 'what have I accomplished?'" doesn't like them building a port right next to her property, lowering its value to her and others. No, this spoiled brat seems to think the wise, all-knowing state's economic plans should take a back-seat to her so-called property rights! Outrageous! Astounding! Next she'll be bitching and moaning because somebody wants to make part of her land a protected wetland or something!
Fortunately, Clarey points out that if the state "knows what its [sic] doing" economically, it'll ship people who even complain right off to a gulag. After all, real capitalism is when the state buys ownership of companies. I guess it's a sort of "capitalism of the heart"!
Thank goodness for clever midwestern journalists or I wouldn't realize how libertarian all this is!
