I think your argument is worth a lot of consideration.  Please bear with me as the proofreader inside suggests you mean "eminent" (rather than "imminent") domain in referring to the alleged *right* of governments to take control of private property for public use.   (Which, btw, smacks of something the U.S. criticizes other systems of government for adhering to:  the philosophy that *a governing group of peoples* may claim sovereign power over all lands within jurisdiction.   I think the U.S. often refers to that thinking as *communism,* but I could be mistaken.....just as the "voice" that claims to speak with authority for U.S. govt is often mistaken when it attempts to describe other -- or even its own, for that matter -- doctrines.
