Who owns NASA? Surly its owned by the people of the USA.
I think you will find you have many co-operatvive businesses which are sucsesfull in the USA.
So how can you claim its not working when it is even in the USA?
Also do you not in the USA have lots of sky scrapers (communal living)? A lot of these people rent and not own. In fact more people rent property than own in the USA than we do in the UK.
Do you not have state parks (communal living) where anybody can go?
Do you not have public beaches (communal living) were anybody can go?
Think about it. USA has a lot of comusist systems within.
Again who owns the police, the army, you the people. Its not private. Its state run.
The roads you drive on. Are they private so only a select few can use, or can you drive on them?
Is the p[ost office still state run in the USA (I know they want to privatize it in the UK). But I belive it is state run.
Ooops. Looks like comunism works. And works inside the USA. Oooops. Sorry about that.
