but you see as long as you abide by the law, the property is yours. in a socialist society it all belongs to the state from the start. its more of a relocation of wealth than a redistribution, because redistribution would involve taking from the rich and giving to the poor, with eminent domain the government doesn't properly compensate for the loss of the people's property and hands it over to rich people who want to build malls or expensive condos. i'm not saying this is true in all eminent domain cases but enough to cause alarm. what this means is america is becoming more of a fascism than a socialism. plus you have the war on unionized labor and all sorts of signs showing this trend. back during the great depression, under FDR, it was becoming more of a socialist society, but most definitely not now.
