Youre both wrong. under marxism public utilites would be owned and run by the workers i.e. the people in total, not just the workers who happen to work at the utility. this is because union ownership of public utilites is a recipie for failue and cannot be compared to successful for profit coops

I think you are conflating socialism with statism.

Personally I don't believe Marxism to imply state control, or public ownership to mean state ownership.

I'd also see ownership models to include workers and customers. e.g. as a seasonal reference Building and Loan from It's a Wonderful Life.

Of course not everyone sees it that way.
