It should be obvious by now that privatization and "running government like a business" are nothing more than dog whistles for the looting and authoritarian control of public goods.

I mean, it's right there in the concept... have you ever voted for your boss? How about your bosses' boss? How about anyone at the company you work for? Ever voted for any of them?

Businesses are NOT democracies. They are dictatorships. Anyone who says they want to run the government "like a business" is saying they want a dictatorship.

@GuyDudeman Businesses are a little bit democratic, namely at the point where the stockholder assembly gets to elect a board.

The catch is, they do even that little bit of democracy in the most plutocratic way they could think of.
