Private Versus Public Enterprise for Change?

Hi Hugh. I am sorry but I would rather not be misunderstood. I see all of your points, but it is a misreading of my argument to say that we both agree that private enterprise is better for social change and innovation. As I wrote in my previous comments, I see the flaws you point in the government, but I still believe it's better than private enterprise, at least assuming that it's a functioning democracy and in a realm where we have already agreed to the fact it exists. In simpler words, that is to say that if we could get rid of any form of government and be sufficiently evolved to coexist peacefully in anarchism, I would be happiest. However, as we daily prove not to be even close to any communitarian utopia, I think that an accountable and elected government is a much better option than a profit-driven private company to promote social change. Not only the latter will base its actions on individual interests related to market profitability, but developing a societal expectation for social actions to come from private institutions further delegitimizes the state and lets the market aquire even more power, while hiding the political nature of structural problems which need political and communal, accountable intervention for change.
