This article is hilarious. The author is either a monarchist bootlicker, or such a weaponized crystallization of liberalism that he believes that only property redistribution through ‘legal bourgeois democratic formalities’ is morally correct, as if the communist governments did not also pass laws to legally redistribute property.

According to the author, if my great-great-great-grandfather was an imperial noble and owned an entire province, then I deserve that province as my birthright forever, and should be compensated today for the billions of dollars that that province is worth.

    Found this absolute gem in the comments:

    An interesting article thank you. A loss as they have endured continues to impact families for generations.

    We knew a family who were dispossessed of their property as described. With no compensation they went to Rhodesia and saved enough to buy a farm, grow crops again and made a comfortable life for themselves and their children too. There, as Zimbabwe, they were dispossessed of their land again.

    Dispossessing farmers, with no concern for the economic damage, loss of jobs, or vital food security, is a medieval practice.

      I can’t believe these kinds of people actually exist. Unfortunately, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are exactly this kind of person, bitter about the failure of white capitalist supremacy to dominate countries everywhere.

      It’s cool that you have a Telegraph account and can read the comments, I don’t. Were there any other banger comments?

        There are a lot talking about German land in various countries, sounds like some Nazi shit to me but I admittedly don’t know enough about the topic.

        This one has to be satire right?

        John Stephen 1 day ago It’s difficult not to feel great sympathy for these gentlemen.

        Here was a group of people - educated, elevated, and better bred than their fellow countrymen confined to a middle class lifestyle despite their superior social status.

        I hope that these people can be put back to the position that clearly they are pre-ordained to be in.

        Long live the aristocracy and our social superiors!

          I guess a lot of the South African settlers moved back to the UK, so this article is aimed to get views from them.

          I sure hope that comment is satire, though some monarchists wholeheartedly believe this type of crap.
