yes thats how private sector does it with subsidies given to them but at the same time the state has enough power to arm-twist them into doing whats in the best interests of the country.
look at British railways
and? isnt that what the job is? deal with effects? didnt sanctions on Russia have 'effects' much worse?
Germany is one of if not the largest powers in the EU, the German state alone is capable enough to do it. Also, I said majority ownership.
still part of the coalition.
edit: i think neoliberalism has failed enough at this point for us to see that 'free' trade and privatization isn't in the best interests of the nation or workers, just the capital.
