That isn't to say public utilities cannot be successful, but starting them by trying to modify something existing instead of devolved (where applicable) and bespoke entities that don't hold the power of the state as such might be a nicer way.

Republics come and go, it doesnt mean democracy in itself is a failure. All I am advocating for is the extension of our democratic norms to the economic and production apparatus.
- RandomLensman 3y agoNot sure I understand your connection between nationalized corporations/SEEs and republics. We do have a fair amount of countries with more than just shareholder representations in boards, for example. That said, assuming that just extending democratic norms (TBD) into corporations will help - not sold, why would large and potentially uninformed decision making help?
