In Europe, it is easy.
1. The people finance and build the infrastructure, like rails, streets, powergrid, telecommunication.
(It then theoretically belongs to the "state", the people.)
2. Lobby and influence on politics have it that those accomplishments are then being sold by the state, to private companies, often for a penny.
3. The private companies use what is there for profit, while doing no upgrading, repairing, and not
any maintenance.
4. All decays, until it is almost unusable anymore, companies are beginning to suffer because their bosses took out the money and left.
5. Now the companies and banks are crying for funding and being bailed out.
6. Now is the time for the state to get it all back from private hands, and repair/improve/upgrade all that has been neglected so long to fill the pockets of a few.
7. What happens in 6. is financed by – you knew it – the people.
And so on, starting from new.
British rail anyone? Seen the film "
Navigators" ?
The joke is that while all cry how good capitalism is and works, the real backbone of infrastructure and real estate is built and financed by common people without money, so that a few can live on their back.
Communism does not work, but it is time to see what capitalism does to the people in the long run.
