I do not know which country you come from and maybe what you describe is correct in your country. I can say that it is not in my countries, Norway and Iceland and this has not been my experience running an international company either.

In any case, I think mixing the two is not helpful in any shape or form. What we need is to regulate what private companies can do. I think that is enough scope for this particular discussion and I think this is such an important matter that it needs to be addressed.

Unless you're a sheep farmer or something (in which case, you still rely on the state for security) you need an enormous number of state services to run even a very simple business, but on a more basic level, property rights are defined and guaranteed by the state, currency is produced and given value by the state, employment relations and legal structures also, and so on.
