Private Property Is The Only Solution

While there are many editorials and op-eds on the correct State Police response to the Maoists, who just butchered 76 cops, as I reported yesterday, the only item in the news that caught my eye is an interview with a tribal activist in Chattisgarh conducted by rediff.com. This is an interview truly worth reading, for it points to the fact that this Total Chacha State is nothing but a Predatory State; and its cops, in their "uniforms of brutality," deserve no sympathy. Nowhere in the interview does this activist condemn the killing of 76 cops. Rather, he points to killings and rapes of tribals by cops that always go unreported, that receive no Justice from this predatory establishment. One sentence in this interview is truly worth quoting, for it also shows that the Maoist ideology is wrong. It points to the solution, which is classical liberalism: Private Property.

The man says:

We should ensure that each and every tribal is made to understand that his or her land is not going to be taken away.

According to classical liberals The State exists to uphold and protect the rights of people to their Property. It is this ideology that this activist is suggesting as the solution, not Maoism. In fact, he says that he has nothing to do with the Maoists; he is merely a friend of the State-ravaged tribals.

I also commend a "quick edit" in Mint today, titled "Reaching out to tribals." This is what the "political response" must be, based on Private Property.

If you read the interview and the edit, you get the feeling that the Total Chacha State is a SHARK - a "land shark."

And, as I said yesterday, sometimes sharks too get killed. Our sympathies must lie with the tribals. Not the predatory cops.
