South Africa farm seizures.

It is possible to be gravely skeptical about the wisdom of government land redistribution even without being a racist.

Land redistribution tends strongly to cause economic collapse even when one ethnic group does it substantially to itself, as China did under Mao.

And the closest parallel to land redistribution in South Africa is the nearby former colony of Zimbabwe. We all know how that turned out -- cronyism and starvation.

But from reading the Washington Post, one might never guess that caution or skepticism about land seizure is even a thinkable opinion. You're either warmly in favour of state land seizure... or you're a racist.
