What did the "communist run states" have to do with communism or the people owning and controlling utilities?
See? That's your problem. You're misinterpretting State-capitalism for communism.
A common mistake amongst the indoctrinated and uneducated. Which are you?

Some people just don't understand the concept of Dialectic something or other.
Originally posted by shavixmir Generally speaking, if it's from the people the people will benefit from it. If it's run by a private company, it's not run for the benefit of the people.
How you organize the management structure dictates efficiency.
Why do you suppose such governments as you imagine don't exist?
The people do not tend to benefit from collectives over time... rather they tend to stagnate.
Individual pursuits and incentives are not done away with through dismissive talk. One incentive does not replace the destruction of another.

Not what you want to hear though.
Why do you consider the rich abusing the poor to be the only valid method of civilization?
Do you not reckon that the friction between these two sides creates change?

Neither.
You just talk gobble-de-gook. Your posts here either consist of abusive attacks usually with lavatorial references, or a simpleton's belief in communism as a panacea for all economic ills despite the overwhelming evidence of failure whenever it has been put into practice.

I'm not convinced privitization of electrical utility companies provides any serious benefit. Not just because of the Enron debacle, but there are significant scale advantages. They have been privatized here in the 90s and bills haven't gone down.

What are you? A masochist or something?
Who'd a thunk it? A low-life capitalist pig is obviously used to bending over and taking it like a man.
I gather that you are a compatriot of 'Gorbals Mick' the disgraced Labour appointed ex-Speaker of the House of Commons. He spouted a lot of incomprehensible nonsense too and he has been rewarded with a seat in the House of Lords, so a great future may yet be yours.
