For a lot of things yes.

However I do not want to use a browser developed by the US gov tyvm

My comment is more in line with the corruption aspect. As much as I think they deserve it, giving it to the employees would be more akin to them winning the lottery. In the space of a year, they will have gone public, shareholders would have stormed in and we would be at square one.

Nationalisation at least has a chance of getting rid of the money corruption aspect. Sadly, the three letter agencies are probably deep in every browser already so I don't think any solution takes care of that.

I understand your point though. Personally, I will never use chrome no matter what happens, ha.

Yep, nationalize everything that's essential or at least offer a nationalized alternative and let the private sector try to compete.

I literally salivate at the thought of it happening to the telecom industries.
