I'm curious because I work for a power and water supplier here in Germany (we also do public transportation and other services for the public). We were sort of privatized just 16 years ago but our only proprietor is the City of Munich. So we are a "socialist" company.
Many other communities in Germany sold their power and water suppliers to private companies and then were disappionted that everything went wrong. I remember that we have been told private companies were much better and that America was the proof because there it had always been private companies to distribute power/ water/ transportation.
