Back top government. Basically the real enemy is power hungry greedy bastars, and you get them in the givernment and in big business. But right now there are more of them in big business, and when it comes down to it the are more powerful and more dangerous. In most countries they effectively own the government.

Concentrating on the government as the fount of all oppression is about as relevant as people in England who pretend that the show business monarchy is a significant threat to our freedom, and take the heat off the real enemy.

Publicly owned and controlled services need not be part of any government. And for all kinds of things we need, that's the best way to provide them.
