Of COURse it ran better in the beginning. But state intervention always entails a hierarchy, and all a corporation needs to do is subvert a handful of too-powerful people at the top of that hierarchy. Nothing wrong with a local grange, entered into freely by farmers voluntarily cooperating LOCALLY, but you dingbats always think "Gee, if we centralized the operation, think of all the GOOD we can do!" That's how the bad creeps in!

It's not "privatized" when they exploit/subvert government agencies. It's fascism. It's not voluntary cooperation when it's mandated by government. The problem is putting the government in charge, so that you only have to bribe one or a handful of people to have your will imposed by force on everyone else. FREE markets don't allow that. Not for long. New people enter the market with alternatives. Government involvement crushes alternatives. I appreciate what you're saying, but I'm already skeptical about any solutions you might offer, because you're enamored of the very things that led us to this pass.
