  2. I’m pretty sure he means 'public control' for both common control AND state control. I agree with this definition as a company owned by a bunch of people isn’t really private - it’s not an individual or a small group. What I DON’T understand is the statement 'The people are the public and the public is the state.’ The people are indeed the public, but the public is not the state, unless we assume that the public is the public sector, which it isn’t. The public works in the public sector, the public works for and in the state and in the goverment, but they aren’t automatically the state. Or maybe he means something else.

  3.  @DAWN001  After doing a bit more reaserch, I think I know what TIK means. So, the very premise of his argument is that when you are [owning something] alone or in a family (or a small group), you are owning it privately. But when people come together, they make hierarchies, which, at some (unspecified) number of people become public. So, according to TIK’s argument, as I understand, something that’s publicly traded, MAY be publicly owned, because it MAY have enough people to be consisered 'public'. The question is why he didn’t just say that, and the answer probably is that most publicly traded companies have enough shares to be classed as 'public' and thus 'publicly owned'. In my personal opinion, there should be a seperate word, like 'prublic' for companies that have enough members to not be private, but are not owned by the CENTRAL state (directlyor indirectly). But there isn’t such a word.

  6. The left-right spectrum is very hard to apply to human nature. For example: Hitler was a Socialist (considered to be the left) Hitler was a nationalist (considered to be the right), but in an extreme sense (still the right?) Hitler was radically pro-abortion (considered leftist) and has said that murdering 70-80% of German children to ‘purify’ and get the strongest of the nation’s DNA would be a good idea. Hitler supported ‘traditional’ (Christian) roles in the family (considered to be on the right). In conclusion, Hitler and many other people cannot just be put on the left or right due to human nature.

  9. 26:22 It is true that "if it is paid for by the state [goverment], it is the state." However, at the top of the screen, it says "Tax[es] [are] from society [/the goverment]. Therefore, [a] company [that is subject to taxes] is part of the Public Sector." Taxes are not the goverment funding a company, taxes are a goverment TAKING money from people. How is it related to what you are talking about?

  10. 22:47 This is one of the reasons WHY socialism does not work. The state setting prices would make people buy too much or too little items, while in a free market, the prices would rise and fall according to supply and demand.
