It's a shame government services are normally junk (pun unintended). That's my experience.

Off the top of my head: I would pay twice for x. Given how bad gov services are.

Edit: Cool downvotes Marxist bros. Our national health service can't be super inefficient (I'm just about to go on a waiting list for a year) & my rubbish collection can't have just halved the amount of trash they take every two weeks. You're right!

Marxism is entirely orthogonal to the idea of "government-provided services."

Marxism and socialism are often clumped together in these sorts of discussions. They both happen to be examples of pretty-bad and un-free systems of government.

Marx believed in a move from feudalism -> capitalism -> socialism -> to communism.
