What industries should private companies be removed from?

How do you feel about the Vinegar industry?

It should be heavily regulated by DCal430 and his powerful Utopian government. dmcowen674 should be carded, his purchased logged, and photograph taken when he purchases vinegar.

Yeah.. that's not going to happen, OK?

Its good to have these posts for when we need to round up the 'non-believers' into reeducation camps.

You realize that is socialism, right? And putting anything under government control makes it less efficient. Look at USPS. It does the same job as UPS and FedEx and can't manage to turn a profit.

Edit: By the way, try living in a place that has a mandated monopoly on cable/tv service. It's awful - there is no customer service and the company tries to fuck you over any way they can (oops, we charged you too much for that? Talk to our customer service department that doesn't exist).

Weird. I think the government should get their hand OUT of more industry, instead of sticking it in to more. *shudder*

So when are we privatizing the military?..IMO it depends who you'd rather have F--- you over..some corp or the gov...

I do not like Chavismo stuff. Bolivar was interesting revolutionary but he really just cloned General Washington in independence war against UK.


Subcomandante Marcos could kick chavezs fat ass anytime and show him a real left peoples revolution.

Ever heard of Blackwater? I'm not saying it's a good idea because it presents enormous conflicts of interest, but stranger things have happened.

Edit: And the military is practically privatized in this country already due to the arms industry being privatized. Lockheed, Boeing, and Raytheon could probably make their own military if they wanted to.

Really ironic these Utopian free market folks are calling anyone extremist or commies.

What is extremist is this reverse class warfare nonsense.

Extremist is putting all our industry under control of the government because you don't like people making a profit from things you think you have a right to.

I am an American, I shouldn't have to leave my country to find a better place. I should strive to make the U.S better.

Funny, I'm an American and your mere presence here makes this country worse.

That is no lie, that shit sucks ass. These morons that want the nanny state to tuck them in and make sure they have everything they think they are entitled to don't have a clue.

What you seem to be so wrapped up in your voodoo ideas to get is the simple fact that at least a politician is accountable if they are shown to be corrupt.

Sure they are. Dubya certainly has paid a heavy price for his corruption...

He already won the award years ago with his previous account. Anarchist420 is an amateur compared to DVK916 and his chin.

Your problem is you think any reward is explotation.

That's the basic communist view on profit. Any profit made by a private owner of a business that is not "equally" distributed by said owner of a company to his employees is deemed "exploitation". Of course the actual scenario itself is the complete basis and foundation of capitalism in which those who take the greatest risks by starting a private enterprise get to keep the majority of what they have earned after they've paid off their operating costs.

Edit: Hence when Marxist's talk about "exploitation" they are referring to any profit made and kept by a private business owner or company which they believe is anathema to their views on wealth redistribution.
