Which are notorious for ridiculously high ticket prices and Rampant delays all the time

But there's no possibility for a competitor to come in and take their place because there's only one train track and they own all of the trains on it

So unless someone was to come and build new train tracks all around the UK (which would be impossibly expensive) SWT are always going to have a monopoly on the trains in that part of the country

So even if you do have a "free market" there's going to be a natural monopoly

Therefore in this scenario its better to have a state owned monopoly where the people controlling it have to answer to the voting population rather than a company which owns the monopoly which cant be ousted by the people and is only trying to make profit

@TheNobody @Adolf-senpai

Obviously this only works in specific scenarios

Aka why I didn't say it works all the time

It dosen't

And that's why communism fails

Because communism tries to apply that everywhere

But in sectors like water rail and healthcare nationalization can work better

Nationalization works in some areas, a free market works better in others

No. Governments can limit Monopolies, and that's just fine.
A private Monopoly, can be held accountable for their actions, an entire government can not be so easily.

a Monopoly exsists beacuse its good

when its bad ppl dont use it

and it starts to fail

You can't hold a private monopoly accountable in that situation

Unless you boycott the trains

why not

But in that case millions of commuters can't get around

if the Monopoly is bad ppl will go to other places

Or sue them

Who?

Also what grounds do you have to sue them

Said Monopoly

It's not like they intentionally set up a monopoly

most Monopoly are created beacuse of govement

Its the nature of the rail industry

gov regulations

that limit busnies

Gov regulations can't stop a monopoly in that sector

As I said

Monopoly give the gov a lot of money to stop other busnesis from taking over

exsample - car dealerships

and air ports

YEah

all goverment made Monopoly

in capitalisem that cant exsist

Those are examples where a free market works
