Hey Sup Forums I had a thought yesterday.
Why isn't there a government that runs purely from the profits made from a government owned business?
Lets say something like
>public transit / mail system is owned by government
>require every citizen to own a rifle
>no army
>no taxes
>gov't uses profits to build roads, hospitals, schools, fire dept, police dept.
Could this work?
What is the closest real world economic system to this?

How would minorities get gibs?

Are you implying I'd allow my police force to let in non whites?
What am I, Sweden?

American education everyone...and they say it can even get worse than this....kek,that would be quite something to see.

>No army

Yea, thatll definitely not work. Get ready to be conquered.

What is wrong with it Gypo?

>Could this work?
no things like public goods perform worse under a monopolist, so its necessary to either regulate them or make them public. (scarce natural resources and things like water, energy) or even things like electric greed and water pipe infrastructure in the city would cause major market failures if the government wouldnt interevene.
>gov't uses profits to build roads, hospitals, schools, fire dept, police dept.
what profits exactly? government isnt in the business of making money, the private sector does it way better, thats why we have taxes.

Lol sounds almost like National socialism, nazi Germany. The way it was supposed to work, but never did. Sort of like fascism in a sense. Using the people as your army.

You sound like you have the same ideals as Hitler. Maybe you just need to read some books. You could be a great leader some day Keke.

This thread reminds me of that book 'Jennifer Government'

How much do you think the average New Yorker or Londoner spends on transportation on the daily?
>Trains
>Buses
>Plain rides
also
>stamps
>large packages
>shipping things out of country on shipping containers
Seems like an easy business venture, then you just redirect the wealth into public programs like education, healthcare, etc.
I don't really see the problem here.

Wtf bump tgis shit. This is one of the only non bait threads atm.
Ffs Sup Forums

Lots of good ideas here.
We could really Maga.

obvious shills are obvious

The government could not produce the money they want by starting businesses. There is no way they would end up getting about 20% of the wealth produced. Of course, that might be a good thing to limit the ability of the government.

What about a system where the government buys stock in buisinesses? With the goal of eventually operating entirely off dividends?

Who isnt a shill in your opinion? OP, will you ever run for political office? Id vote 4 u desu

>Everyone I don't like is a shill
What does this word even mean anymore

I don't like the thought os Usery at all.
If I had my way, I'd go back to the gold standard, get rid of the stock market and debt based economies in general.
Living in commiefornia atm, will run for office somewhere not totally fucked.

I think you're overestimating how much an industry like that can make. Each American would have to spend something like 9k on government owned businesses

*9K a year

but if they control regulation wouldn't that conflict by people getting special attention

that is the old definition of Fascism. Oh and. I'm all for it. depending on who is in charge.

Buying shares is different from usery, I thought usery is charging intrest?
Whats the issue with buting shares?

Crown corporations are the closest thing to a taxless, profitable government. Crown corps. Should provide necessities and vices.

Look up Hydro Quebec, loto Quebec and the Societe des alcohol du Québec for examples of highly profitable crown corps.

Because the government can't even run a whore house in Nevada without going bankrupt. Best to go full ancap desu

>Get rid of the stock market
What the hell? This seems a bit arbitrary.
Businesses aren't allowed to find investors? What about through other means, like bonds? Have you considered that said things developed naturally in the free market because they were needed?

This is essentially what Venezuela and saudi Arabia do.

Government can't run its own shit, so how can they run a business?

The market would tell them they suck AIDS cock, the business would fail...and then they'd pump it full of taxes to prop it up. At which point it would be a bureaucratic government agency like any other.

How about:

No government

No economic system

Society gets ahead on emphasizing education in spirituality, and creating regiments of switching between intellectual and tedious roles periodically. Circling around between the rigorous and the tedious, man finds his balance and loses his greed.

Erisianism was the system in Atlantis before they became greedy and evil and lost their way.


Time to return home into a new golden age. A sentient being cannot have authority over another sentient being, God cannot enslave that which it already is.


Money and government are systems of slavery. Religion too.

Belief in God is important, but dogma is evil.

They were the best dressed servicemen ever.

What should be the requirements to vote in an ideal society?
I was thinking something along the lines of having a degree *no art degrees accepted*.

The central authority would be so pathetically weak that powerful elements in the periphery would just break off into warlord states

>man
>citizen
>tax payer

That's it.

While you're off practicing your hippy-dippy bullshit, some angry young Caesar gets some guys together and enslaves your entire community

Why have a government at all then?
Take the anarchy pill

> Govt owned business
This is a very old idea. Old kingdoms, like the minoans, traded in the name of the king. The palaces had storage and manufacturing areas.

We all have guns and know how to use them.

Anyone who would dare to enslave mankind would face justice. The justice of them being eradicated.

Good doesn't mean timid, fearful plebeian fool.

Do you want a strong ironfisted govt?
Fuck no.
GOV'T GET OUT REEEEEEEEEE
