>>Banking Should Be Public
06.11.2013 21:22
The Bank of England should be real public property. At the moment it's real status is very elusive. From my research it is registered as a private limited company but with only one share, of course that share might be sub-divided, who knows? The government is very shady about who really owns the bank of England. >Of course, these suggestions are not ideal, but as a transitional stage would be realistic. >Telecoms.....

Can be nationalized --- anything and everything depending on how many people you are willing to kill to accomplish that and have the necessary resources to win the fight instead of being wiped out yourself. What I really meant is that you can nationalize whatever you can convince enough people should be nationalized. >a) WHY are you equating "public ownership" (as opposed to "privately owned") with "nationalized"? Did you mean to be including in your vision of communal ownership that this always be at the national level as opposed to more local level? That the only form of socialism/communism you consider legitimate is at the STATE level? You would consider local collectives, co-ops, communes, etc. to be a form of private ownership? <<
I'm just looking at public opinion moving towards removing our essential utilities from the capitalists, and of course resisting any further privatisations. I'm not a statist and I look forward to a time when we control our resources for our needs using whatever forms of social organisation we find works.
