  1. The Private sector switcheroo is such a simplistic solution for everything that purposefully allows you to ignore the true costs. My city's schools were taken over by the state and they privatized everything, now all their service personnel are sub contractors of sub contractors of sub contractors, since even menial janitorial jobs do have a floor to labor costs, they have to be paying nearly the same in administration costs to all those different companies before those dollars even reach the worker

  2. Anarcho capitalists are just saying everything would work out if you trust them, but other than broad economic assumptions, we don't have any real assurance that prices wouldn't end up fixed by cartels, that companies wouldn't end up forcing people to pay for things they don't need, or just straight up steal from people, or that they wouldn't just become corporate run monarchies.
