Privatized government = feudalism

[EstimatedProphet]

People occasionally ask what the end game is of the attacks on government services, well, that's what the end game is. Privatized government services means they are responsible to an owner instead of the people, and there is no difference between that and having a king if it is taken to the logical end.

1. Or Fascism.

[Enthusiast]

3. Yes. More accurately fascism.

We often hear right wing pundits rail against United Nations influence and how it undermines the sovereignty of the nation. Well, talk about undermining sovereignty. Nothing undermines sovereignty more than privatizing government. Government represents all of us, privatized services represent corporate owners only. This is perfectly clear, or should be perfectly clear to any informed citizen.

5. we have two options! corporate feudalism or religious fascism!

just replacing our current two party system with two others...that look frightening like the original two.

[EstimatedProphet]

4. Either/or

Although I would say that if the actual government is owned outright, it's feudalism.

2. The privatization is driven by greed

Most of the people pushing from privatization are blindly lobbying for the greedy who will in the end lead us down the road of fascism.

It's the blindly assisting the corporatist that blows my mind. They all have been told that public services is bad under the guise that they personally are paying services that others receive, while what they are doing is making the case for some oligarch to gain control of those public services at a ridiculously low price and will turn around and increase the profits for the service to make a fortune, causing the prices of the service for all to go up.
