It is already happening in the U.S. under the guise of the U.N. plan to re-wild the United States. The confiscation of hundreds of thousands of acres and putting them under the management and regulation of the forest service. It is time for Civil War 2, but that is probably the corner the govt. is trying to push the citizens into therefore giving it (fed. govt.) the excuse to do away with those who oppose it. This is beginning to look like another Waco on the horizon, but of much greater proportions.
"Land reform" has been legal in the United States since 1984, when the U.S. Supreme Court in Hawaii Housing Authority v. Midkiff held that it was lawful for the state of Hawaii to condemn the land from Person A and then transfer it to Person B, as long as there was a "conceivable" economic basis for doing so. Economically benefiting Person B is sufficient, says the Supreme Court, because that would improve the general welfare
This case has formed the basis for all sorts of abuses, primarily large companies paying off municipal governments (either directly or through promises that it will "increase the tax base") to seize property and then transfer the property to them.
The issue is again up in the Supreme Court, but I wouldn't hold my breath that the Court will restore the Public Use Clause to the Constitution.
