The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'm fairly certain this is how many view this issue and supporting government over privatization in the current environment.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'm fairly certain this is how many view this issue and supporting government over privatization in the current environment. They may not be your friend but they may help compete against and regulate those currently suppressing you. For that to change, privization needs to stop focusing on minimizing its alignment for personal gain and has to look at shedding a bit back towards society, realigning more at a slight loss of gains, not capturing gains purely for itself. If that doesn't happen, you're going to continue to see surges of support for government, ideas of socialism, etc.
