Free market prices are a valuation of costs to society. It's the valuation that produces the best results. Humanity doesn't knows a better one.

There is value outside of money, mainly in our rights. A public post service protects your rights, like free speech and freedom from search.
It is highly unlikely that any private service will respect your free speech; naturally some post which is unpalatable to corporate PR will be censored. Moreover, your post will almost certainly be searched and data mined for additional profits.
The government is required to protect certain rights you have, the private sector is not. There is value in that which we cannot ascribe a monetary value to.

Marxist are the worst enemies of freedom of speech, and the government is socialism.
individuals need protection from the government more than anything else, and the government is the one always eroding all your freedoms
