The word government isn't even in that entire article. Maybe quote a specific part instead of idiotically linking a main Wikipedia page...?
Okay, allow me to copy/paste the relevant section, the first sentence.
Meaning individuals (aka private interests) own and control the means of production with the goal of generating profit, rather than they be publicly controlled, which is to say controlled by the government.
Controlled by the government part is added by you with no source. Typical American basement dwelling commie

There's your source. That makes two versus your zero? Surely you know what you're talking about.
Dude quoting general things doenst make your point... At all... Nor does downvoting me..
Brother, you asked me to source the definition of public ownership so I got you a literal dictionary definition of it. And for the record, I haven't downvoted any of your comments, not even the ones I found irritating.
I did not ever ask that. Please refrain from putting words into my mouth. What are you, a tankie?
Okay, maybe you didn't ask for it, precisely. But you seemed to be bothered that I didn't provide one, so I did.
You seem to be in your feelings about all this, though.
I left Europe 14 years ago because it wasn't nice anymore in my home town. Sorry for you guys but if you live in the USA you shouldn't think you know everything about Europe...
I don't think I've made any specific claims about Europe in our discussion. I don't live in the USA, I live in Canada, but either way I would never claim to know everything about Europe because I don't.
Polite USA = still same shit
Whatever, dude. Have a lovely day.
Same to you dude! Hope you never have to emigrate your home town because it becomes unliveable thanks to Moroccan welfare receiving cocaïne dealers/pimps (and their clients) trying to rob you! Although I'm happy here in Ecuador for 14 years now!
