"Yes"
We should nationalize all important infrastructure
All infrastructure is important. When it comes to providing the bones of the frame on which a nation hangs, the state is the ideal developer of infrastructure. In no world has a private infrastructure system ever been more effective than a public system in any sector. The state is supposed to be the frame the economic muscle of the country hangs on. That frame is the national infrastructure, and none of it should be private.
Yes sorry that is what I meant. All infrastructure should be nationalized
Let’s make a test for this:
If you answered yes to these questions, then you should nationalize it.
The free market can’t or won’t ever provide a better service, and there’s no viable replacement. There’s no value in it being private, in fact, it’s negative value as the corporate margin acts as a tax anyways. If you took all the corporate profit and dividends and reinvested, you would be further ahead than privately owned.
Nice! Thanks.
