Why the Public Sector needs a Politburo

    We the people did not acquire the banks the government did. Therefore it is illogical to blame the banks - doing so means that we willingly accept bank debt.
    Because the government took control of the banks, they effectively became shareholders (in many cases - majority shareholders) in every business that owes money to the banks. Therefore we now have the appalling vista of the state controlling everything from shops, to hotels, to everything else. Therefore, since we now live in a Bolshevik country we must look to see how the old Soviet Union managed to last for so long without a private sector to prop it up. They did it using the Politburo. State employees should be offered Soviet style bribes to spy on their comrades and inform the state of wasteful and inefficient practices. Alternatively we could do the right thing and hand band debt back to the banks, end all bailouts and debt forgiveness and apply capitalism with ruthless efficiency. Nothing less will do.
