Anti-Capitalist Sentiment (with some morality)

[wufwugy]

I don't doubt the government is responsible for the inefficient service we get, but that's besides the point. It is not government per se that is the problem, it is the actual government of the time.

We have a shit government, and have had for a very long time. It'll be interesting to see if Corbyn can somehow get into power, because he wants to privatise the railways.

Government is like this by innate nature. A monopoly cannot behave like a non-monopoly.

A monopoly cannot behave like a non-monopoly.

Of course it can, if it has the incentive. Government has incentive beyond profit. Arguably, the ultimate incentive is still profit. If the economy is sweet, dividends are bigger. If I employed 15,000 people in Lodon, I'd want them at work on time and not stressed out from their journey. It would result in greater productivity. That means greater profit for the company, greater tax for the taxman.

Government is not monopoly, because government changes.

These don't determine whether or not something is a monopoly. Government is a monopoly.
