    The cuban model of government owned businesses is what you seem to be wanting, and even vox shows how poorly that works. State owned firms sucking is just a structural problem, if you dont understand why that is then you havent had to work with the government. The guy that floated here was due to wanting freedom and the ability to not be owned by the state.

      There are some services in the economy you never would want to be privately owned. e.g. Firedepartment, healthcare providers, etc. These type of business are better run as a service for society, instead of these being subject to the profit motive. Look up what a privatized fire department looked like in New York. If you can’t understand that, then you havent been engaging with political theory enough…

      even vox

      Lol

      Castro brought freedom to Cuba. Looks like your friends understanding of freedom is the same as the average Americans: Being a wageslave for 8hrs a day on average lol
