The opposite of communist is capitalist, just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean you can't have a democracy that is communist. But your point still rings true, how many capitalist societies have private police/fire dept/sewer/ health care ect ect.


Great point. Here in New Zealand we are moving towards private water/sewer and healthcare. But there is a long way to go before police and fire departments are privatized. Has anywhere privatized fire departments and police?
