Not the person you originally responded to but you are literally doing the exact same thing you accuse the original poster of. You are using one example in western Europe while ignoring a whole bunch of countries throughout history that support the original posters point.
Seems to me when non socialist countries (western europe) nationalize companies it generally goes better than when socialist countries do.
So both you and the original poster are somewhat correct but you both are trying to manipulate the data to only support the cause you want.

How so? Their point was that nationalisation was intrinsically totalitarian and bad. My point is that there are several counter-examples that show that it does not follow. I never said it was a panacea.
