Markets are inefficient for infrastructure and tend toward monopoly.
How does replacing non-profit organisations (which most public IX'es are) with government bodies and governmental legislation improve anything...?
Government _is_ a non-profit organization, with generally broader representation. How does replacing a representative government with a smaller feudal organization improve anything?
Idiot laissez-faire pseudo-libertarians forget that all markets require regulation and politics.

Because as much as it's best not to rely on thugs with guns, I really don't want the thugs with guns to be private armies. How do you expect to enforce your "member" regulations?
