The Capitalist and Republican Case against the Keystone Pipeline
Socialism is the use of force to benefit corporations, that may come as a shock to many young idealists but it is true. Eminent Domain has become, thanks to the Kelo Case, a process in which corporations can ask the government to forcefully remove people from their homes and property in the interest of "economic development". And of course the common aim of Socialism is for state control of the economy. Now for a pipeline to cut across the United States homes must be razed, farms and ranches divided, and people thrown off of their land, to be honest that is all I need to hear to be against it. Of course another reason would be government subsidies, if an enterprise can't succeed on its own with only private investment then it should not succeed.
