That's like saying that private property is worthless because the state can take it from you by force.
Technically that's correct, but if that generally doesn't happen then it's not something we have to worry about.

That's a big if. I don't know where you're from, but here in France the State expropriating smaller landowners in order to achieve huge private-public partnerships (i.e. siphoning off public money right into the pockets of private companies, with little if any benefits for society) is common practice: see for example the ZAD in Notre dame des Landes for an example of popular outcry/resistance, or the expropriations and mafia-like intimidation/aggression for the "Grand Stade de Lyon".
Of course, if you're a big landowner and/or close to the circles of power, you have nothing to worry about.
