'Public institutions' like schools and hospitals shouldn't be owned privately - Chris Hipkins
Labour says it does not support the private ownership of infrastructure, as the Infrastructure Investment Summit kicks off.
I agree. Or prisons either.
Please add water and power to that list.
@BalpeenHammer , plus health and education.
Or any critical infrastructure for that matter. If private companies want access, they can lease it from the state.
Fuck toll roads and private cell towers!
Well obviously.
We are living in a time where such obvious statements need to be written down. This is terryfying. Billionaires are questioning the very idea of public wealth in order to tear it down and take control over it. They already control housing, production and distribution of goods, production and distribution of information. Public infrastructure is just another step in wealth concentration and towards feudalism. This is not funny. Where I live serfdom was abolished in 1848, my ancestors were free men for less than 2 centuries. My grandma could have talked to people who were born under serfdom and we are already steering back into it.
Yep, that's kind of chilling.
People myst understand the it is the people making everything, everything! Society is made by the people, as is cars, roads, research, you name it.
Billionaires are only parasites in our society.
That's why in my country religions own them all.
Religious owned hospitals blow my mind. “We’re here to help and save people! Except if it’s something against what we believe, then fuck you”. And sadly they’re huge in America.
Yes, but stupid Americans think that’s socialism and must be bad.
The fucking fire department is socialism.
Health, education, infrastructure…if it’s used by everyone, everyone should own it.
The propaganda here is strong and since the rise of social media and smartphones it’s only gotten worse. I fear there is no way out now.
