This type of "privatization" doesn't make the government any smaller. There is still exactly the same amount of coercion and government control.

- ClumsyPilot 5y agoBuilding railways roads and essential national infrastructure... Coersion?
- JgiuX76h 5y agoYes. Taxing people to pay for those things requires coercion. Preventing other people from providing completing services requires coercion.

- ClumsyPilot 5y agoI have lives in 3 coubtries and never seen a government preventing anyone from building private roads, railways, etc. Somehow essential infrastructure is not a popular business investment Also by that logic stopping people from dueling or stabbing each-other on the street is coersion . Stopping coersion by mafia is coersion. How is this a usefull concept?
