Soooo... should the resources be nationalized and should the government take over expolration and developement of mining those resources for the benefit of all? Or should the mining industry be driven by profits which the government can tax and collect royalties to redistribute the wealth of the resources?

The government has proven to be a bumbling bunch of idiots so far on just about everything whereas the mining companies, the power companies, the high tech companies, the agriculture companies, the manufacturing companies... have added value to the economy.

Lofty ideals, well meant no doubt, but impractical. Communism just doesn't work unless you wanna work in the fields planting crops and sleeping in a hut.
