News in El Comercio: The private lands in the sights of State

Although not complete the land uncultivated private land, the agriculture minister, Ramón Espinel, announced yesterday that the government has identified about 35 000 hectares in the coming weeks will enter the expropriation process to determine which have remained idle for more than two years.

The official, however, did not disclose where these lands are located, but said part an estimated 1 500 000 hectares in the country uncultivated private. Espinel also indicated how these lands will be assessed, but said he discounted the sale price, the investment by the state waterways, or roads that have improved their goodwill.
...
also reported that of 130 000 hectares of State designed to be delivered to small farmers, 65 000 are able to be transferred and the rest is still under analysis, because some extensions are part of forest, moorland and nature reserves.

The Federalist: The name for the condemnation that is coming is called robbery, expropriation is a crime of coercion against individuals can be sued but not yet applied to the central or local, for the subversion of reason and ethical flaw called "positive law."

Coercion is, so we know where we are moving sand, a crime that involves the use of violence or intimidation to compel a person to perform an action that would not make voluntarily, or by the same barbaric means to force an individual to refrain from making a legitimate action. The expropriation being the transfer of private ownership of property to the state through coercion, is by nature an illegal act, dictatorial, arbitrary and unlawful. Yet it is an effective tool in constitutions and laws of almost all the world, highlighting the moral abyss in which much of society has decided to live.

Expropriation is more reprehensible than the confiscation although the latter figure is clearly more dramatic for the individual and clearly seen as an abuse of law. Expropriation is more condemnable because it is a double act is arbitrary: on the one hand coerce an individual to give up their property with compensation, usually in the form determined arbitrarily, and moreover, the money from the compensation awarded by the State does not belong to it, but that in turn is the result of a plunder made earlier citizens through taxes.

is why, back to the source of this news post, the planned expropriation by the government of Rafael Correa is in fact a huge heist plan to citizens. The government incurs a forfeiture of public resources through taxes, the first arbitrary, then "offset" those resources to which individuals have been forced to surrender their property, second arbitrariness.

Under this argument based on ethics, goes without saying that the results of the practice of expropriation legal uncertainty, paralyzes investment displaces farming and agribusiness and generates poverty and unemployment. Expropriation mass, called "land reforms" were made before in Ecuador and many other countries with the same disastrous results indicated (and nobody has been able to demonstrate positive results). Incur the same error only has a cause: ignorance, a result: poverty and a goal: to focus and exercise full power for political gain and economic petty for a small clique.
