I suppose my point was more that publicly owned funded and managed is functionally what government is.
Any issues with government management of a utility is just as applicable to a crowd funded publicly managed one.
There's nothing stopping us from altering the state to optimally steward the public trust. It's probably easier because the state already exists, and has mechanics for dealing with the types of civil issues that arise from community organization on complex projects.
The government isn't something that's apart from us, it's made of us.
What, to you, is the actual difference between a community working together and organizing their resources for the common benefit, and a government?
Sorry for the delayed reply. Been AFK.
The ability to collaborate solely with values-aligned community rather than being forced to reach consensus across all people in a geographic region regardless of how antagonistic or philosophically misaligned we are.
