Why don’t we just own 49% (or 1% less than a controlling share) of things?
The £47383b profits these companies pay out to shareholders isn’t that awful if we get most of it.
We could have just commercialised things instead of selling them off for nothing to people who have no incentive to run them properly. That wouldn't be proper FREEDOM though.
