The problem does lie in valuation. Where valuation is set by capitalism utilizing money to determine value, those who fail to understand value and/or have money, have an advantage over those who set valuation by the heart, understand value and/or do not have money.
The mistake so often made in the U.S. is assuming that if individuals really have the heart and really value something, they will get the money to buy it. The mistake so often made in the U.S. is forgetting that the collective had the heart and really valued something, so they refused to sell and kept it for themselves. The capitalist want it. If they can't buy it outright, they will try to buy the legislature and get it that way.
So you see, if they succeed in buying the land, they will believe they have established value and proved their thesis about desire. In actuality, they will have demonstrated the opposite: They have no heart.
Here we have the classic American conflict which can be resolved by a patriotic understanding and remembrance of just what the collective has accomplished. While it is true that the horseman (collective) does less without the horse (capitalists with heart), the horse is food without the horseman. Horses are not enlightened enough to understand their plight should they get the freedom they claim they want. If U.S. horses don't submit to U.S. horsemen, we will all submit to some nation of riders.
The collective too, has heart. All would be wise to listen to it.
