sometimes the way people talk about companies is as if they think companies should be owned by the state

sometimes these people are even anarchists

a state-owned institution, funded by the people and acting on their behalf and in their interests, has moral, legal, and political responsibilities to meet their needs.

a private organization doesn’t. a private organization certainly doesn’t have an obligation to meet the needs of EVERY person. they can just pick a subset.

if all the private organizations are picking subsets which don’t include you, that’s a strong argument for state ownership.
