I think that basic services and public goods (health, education, energy and basic food) should be state-owned, but not necessarily others. But it is true that companies in general should be cooperative, owned by employees.

I mean, if your nation is functioning well, nationalised businesses should essentially be huge co-ops.

What good does nationalization do when there's no workers self-organization? The USSR (even before stakhanovism) is a good example of how top-down organization is a complete failure for workers, for users, and for society at large.

We need self-organization at all levels, right now.
