It is very simple, libertarians don't care *who* owns what. If the small
farmer can't compete in the open market, the so be it. I woun't shed one
more tear than I would over the demise of the buggy whip industry.
What signifies you as a socialist is that you see no problem with having
the government *steal* my property to "fix" whatever problem is bothering
you at the time. Not only is this morally bankrupt but is an act of
cowardice. The socialist is too gutless to steal the property himself but
does so by proxy using government forces.
You do not have a right to my property regardless how worthy & noble you
think the cause is. If your cause is educating the unwashed masses, or
midnight basketball for the inner city youths, or saving the family farms,
the pull out your check book and write a check.

Perhaps if you got out of that university and became a productive member
of society you would perceive the world a little different. :)
