A lot of the things we do on a daily or weekly basis have ways of doing them that can either be private or communal, some of these which we do not think to consider as having that characteristic.
For example, bathing in the Roman Empire used to be communal, but then Rome fell and citizens in the splinter countries began taking baths privately.
Receiving mail is another example. There are countries which don’t have mailboxes and everyone gets their mail at the post office in the PO boxes. It was the United States which pioneered the idea of the modern mail system, which is why we associate it as a private act.
There are activities as well which don’t have any history as jumping between one or the other that might benefit from it, for example I think towns might benefit if internet was free and freely accessible but only at the local library.
What’s a non-communal aspect of life you think should be communal?
Power plants, power grid, water grid, post, 5G networks, parking lots payment, visa cards should be state based, public health insurance, health system incl dentists, pension system, education, Kindergarden should all be completely public with no intention of profit. All parallel private companies need to be forbidden in this space
Basically reversing the privatization politics of the last 50 years in the EU because politicians are too lazy to organize this
