insist on the nonsensical idea that we can and should fix things from within it and under its rules (and in your example, using one of its most toxic and destructive elements)

I don’t think I am saying that at all. Could you point out the specific passages which come across that way?

Why do you believe it’s worse to have public ownership?

Do you want the government to run crucial services such as search engines (Google), e-commerce websites (Amazon) and so on?

You imagine an ideal government which has the best intentions, rather than people acting in their self-interest.

Would you like Trump to control these things? What about law enforcement getting all the data with no constraints of getting warrants?

why didn’t you respond to the reasoning I laid out for why perpetually trying to move the clock back and stagnate instead of progressing onwards is false thinking?

Government ownership is not progress. It has been tried, and shown to work poorly in many countries repeatedly.

fold them into the Public Sector

The only thing worse than a private monopoly is a government monopoly. Especially when that government will soon be under Donald Trump.
