When the options are;
1. Your life is owned by corporations.
2. Your life is owned by the govt.
Who cares?
Corporation won't kill or imprison you for not complying with their rules. Imagine if the government took over cable TV and when you illegally stream a movie, they kick in your door and arrest you.
Corporate run utilities are shit. Utilities should be government run and aim to cover costs and not try to turn a profit. That way utilities are as affordable as they can be for everybody.
Its socialism that calls for government owned enterprises, communism proposes the proletariat owning the means if production bro
That'd still be corporations, dummy. Rights holders, content producers - it'd be their job to try and stop you from pirating. The government would only own the infrastructure (transmission lines).
You might know that if you see how this works in other countries.
"HARD WORK!!!"
>communism proposes the proletariat owning the means if production bro
Someone should have told Stalin about this, bro.
You fucking moron, government run utilities are always absolute shit, and usually with billions of dollars wasted
Only if they're run like horseshit. A government run utility can lease infrastructure to private companies to actually make some money and fund more investment in improvements and construction.
Are you implying the russians were actually communist? You know the second S in USSR was for Socialist right?
So a privately owned business, gets taken away by the government, then given back to the private company just so they can make money off of it on the auspice of "better regulations?" Fucking kek
Privately run corporations will only ever run for max profits, there are no more good faith services in 2020. They exist to squeeze as much as possible from the customer for as little as possible. Why the fuck should I participate in that?
see
It's just a name bro. Names don't have to be literal. Otherwise, we'd be seeing such beacons of democracy in:
The People's Republic of China
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
except the govt. already does that on behalf of corporations now anyway? lol
You can support socialism by giving me your money for free. I have drugs to buy and I need your support. It would be a worthy cause. You might have to struggle for groceries but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Utilities should not be commercialized and everyone in the not-retarded countries understands this but you dumb niggers can't wrap your head around the idea of not competing for every single fucking thing in your lives since it's all you've ever known and the companies bleeding you dry spend your money on telling you it's actually great to die in a ditch for a corporation.
I'll bet if you didn't have to fight for the most basic survival every waking second you wouldn't even know what to do with your life.
How about we focus on fixing the infrastructure we already have before the government takes on more?
Nobody's going to run on a campaign that's "mundane maintenance" because that's not as exciting as "new free stuff"
I'd vote for Bernie if he wins the candidacy.
Then you too can sleep under Bridges and fight off racoons every day.
He already is a candidate. You meant if he wins the nomination :::eye roll:::
OP clearly doesn't know that the government has nationalized industries before...including BANKS.
Your stupidity is hollow.
The government is heavily involved in TV. The CIA are very aware of the impact of the Television on the mind. Your brain goes into an alpha state where it just absorbs everything it's being shown. You're immersed in lying "news", ignorant films and music promoting the same, and mindless "entertainment". Yesterday it was "Let them eat cake" and the Colosseum,etc. Today it's "Let them eat fast food" and professional sports. And for the women, absolute brain-dead dribble like MTV, Jersey Shore, Dance Moms, Say Yes to the Dress, and all the other crap I'd be too embarrassed to type out. I might keel over and cringe to DEATH if I had to recall all the garbage people eat and consume. In the end, the governemnt (In all parts of the world) are going to lay hold on you. And crazy enough, the chains of your enslavement will be ones YOU BUILT and ASKED FOR.

American, European, or alien, I don't care. Give that video a listen.
Good thing television has gone the way of the fax machine
>except for boomers
Good thing I'll be turning 26 years old this year then isn't it (rhetorical question). You think you are any more free from "TV" because you use YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and ANY OTHER form of media? Get real. It's all the same anymore. Especially with tighter and tighter restrictions being put on things like YouTube. Watch the bloody video I posted nerd. Arm yourself with knowledge.
People like OP are the kind of people who should get executed publicly along with their families and their polnigger friends.
bruh what is south america?
>what is south america?
Not North America
among other european nations with welfare policies and other socialist-like policies

Should I like and subscribe to your videos? Needing some comments as well?
It's not MY video friend. I'm not big on followers anyway. I've got what, 37 followers on Instagram? I'm INCREDIBLY selective with who I let follow me. Why? I like privacy. What I usually use it for is communicating in certain communities and just plain lurking sometimes. It's nice to see that people "like" or "heart" your comments as it shows they agree with your point of view or perspective, but it isn't necessary for my overall happiness.
"""Earn"""
Nobody earns a billion dollars, you imbecilic faglord.
No, of course not. That has never happened before.
go back to 1950 grandpa

not complying with the TOS constitutes a federal felony under the computer abuse and fraud act
the DNC will never choose a socialist to win the election
like hard work even matters any more. You faggots kill yourselves at a 9-5 if you like, I know where the real money is
What kind of faggot believes in socialism?
welfare recipients
Our electric grid is embarrassingly outdated by decades and decades, mostly because of all the terrible, different utility conpanies that have fractured and segregated our infrastructure. A strong centralized energy infrastructure is a good thing.
retired old people
fossil fuels are inefficient and outdated
what kind of faggot believes in capitalism?
>"But muh free market produces better outcomes!"
Yeah, I bet your internet is real good because of the lack of regulations on telecoms leading to an oligopoly that overcharges consumers for the shittiest service available.
>"But socialism is theft! Billionaires work hard for their money!"
No, billionaires had the capital to establish businesses where everybody else works hard to make them money. Where'd they get the capital? From not paying their taxes like the rest of us:

>"But unions are bad and I get to argue how much I get paid with capitalism"
No matter how much you might argue that it's up to the individual to fight for themselves how much they get paid, the fact is, you're not getting paid what you're worth, ever, because corporate holds all the power in that negotiation. They might toss you a couple extra grand if you play nice, but ultimately, the value of your labor far outpaces what they're giving you for it.
True. Too bad the left spent over 3 decades blocking research for nuclear. Problem could have been solved already.
NONE OF YOU FUCKS SAW THE DOUBLE DUBS?
Madness
>Nooooo! Not my taxes!
Anti bernie shills out in force. MAGAtards and establishment shills getting scared
