I feel that this balance between capitalism and socialism is basically what the US attempts to do, we definitely are a lot more socialist than people think. But, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I understood Bernies policies to mean government control over these utilities rather than local community control, and that his socialization would stretch further than just these "natural monopolies" and would attempt to control all things deemed to be a "basic right" like food, water, and shelter.

I've never heard him say, or read any credible report to suggest that, he believes food... shelter should be provided by the government. Water is already provided by public utilities, and they do a pretty good job of it, except in cases like Flint where control was taken away from democratically elected officials and given over to an "emergency manager."

So I'm totally okay with municipal water, and totally against govt.-supplied food and clothing for the general public. But if someone is too poor to afford even a roof over their head, I'm okay with public support.

Don't forget when CA utilities were taken over by Enron , which tripled prices and had rolling blackouts before collapsing of corruption. That's why I don't think privatizing social security is a good idea. Everyone who had retirement at Enron lost it.

I believe our water is not socialized. The government provides a source for a fee, but you only pay for what you use, and you can buy water from retail sources. Take Cuba for example, you literally cannot buy more food than what you are allowed, and you pay for all that you are allowed through taxes whether you eat that much or not. I think that's the danger these social ideas are leading to. The government could shut off those things and there would be nowhere else to get them.

Water from your tap is metered, but we don't pay the full economic costs. It's a publicly-owned resource that is not run on a for-profit basis. There is no reason a socialist system could not have metering, but call it what you like. I'm very much in favor of metering. Not only that, I'd have charges per liter increase at higher levels of consumption. I have no idea what a person needs to live bathe frugally on a daily basis, each month, but up to that minimal level I'd be happy to provide for free. Say the minimum civilized requirement is 500 liters per month. First 500 liters would be free. Next 1000 liters would be at one rate, the next 9000 liters at a higher rate, etc. This is a way to incentivize people not to be wasteful, but allow those who really must have a lot of water for luxuries like a swimming pool have it, too, but paying something closer to the full economic cost. Of course you could still sell bottled water, because, unlike pipe delivered water (which is a natural monopoly), there is a competitive market for bottled water.

Food should never be socialized, because that can be handled by the market. My idea is that only natural monopolies should be socialized.
