    The third guy has a sensible idea.

    Yeah, though that’s going to be insanely costly for the government. Best solution is offering a cheap, readily available public version and then the premium services.

    The ‘ban factory farms’ guy has a good idea.

    It is! But ironically, animals are and have always been treated the worst in communist states.

    The ‘ban cars’ crowd I sorta agree with. Cars should only be used in urban areas, where public transit is not viable.

    You mean rural?

      The point of banning private versions of essential services is to make it so wealthy people have to use the same public version as poor people.

      If a private alternative exists that rich people can use instead, the people who have the most power in society, then they have little incentive to provide a good public version.

      You mean rural? Yes, rural. Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, though that’s going to be insanely costly for the government. Best solution is offering a cheap, readily available public version and then the premium services. Well, services naturally cost money. But yes, allowing private services would also be good. I’m just worried that the public version falls too far behind in terms of quality provided. As in, politicians see that the private version is only a bit more expensive than the public one, and therefore slash funding for the public version, causing the public quality to decrease, after which the private provider see higher demand, and then increase prices.

      Third thing will only work if your land is filled with natural resources. Tankies sure take that for granted or just completely ignorant and doesn’t realize that communism is realistically only feasible only if your land has unlimited natural resources and slavery.
