(46,179 posts)I see that as worker-owned means of production. Or non-profit corporations. Or government owned and operated, and guaranteed, essential services like health care, education, transportation, energy, and housing.
Or some combination of all of the above.
I get my electricity from a non-profit corporation that serves those of us living rurally. Their service and reliability is superior, their prices are significantly lower, and every 2 years I get a check...small to be sure, but a check refunding what I paid that they didn't use for regular day-to-day operations, upgrades, or repairs. Friends who live in town are stuck with the for-profit power company; they are envious.
What I really want to do is remove the profit motive for under-paying and over-charging people.
It has nothing to do with being liberal. As a matter of fact, economic liberals are those causing the problems.
