Government intervention and regulations are often incredibly harmful -- no arguments there. I'm not an ideologue. Everything is complicated. There are no absolutes. That's what I'm trying to communicate to you.
Public ownership of infrastructure tends to be positive for the economy and the people living there. To deny this is to deny the history of human civilization.
And I'm not a socialist or a statist. I'm an anarchist. Prominent anarchists like Emma Goldman observe that the tyranny of Soviet Russia was matched by American business oligarchy. Anarchists therefore support the abolition of the state, as well as money and property rights. Abolishing one without the others is just shifting the locus of power to a different tyrant. Unless we can eliminate all three, balance is essential.
