You're not making sense. Private income isn't the same as the private sector. And there's some leeway between having a neo-liberal free market and communism. I'm not in favour of a state-run economy, I'm in favour of essential services (gas, electricity, water) not being run by PLCs and certainly not in the monopoly terms that Thames Water do. Having no choice over one's water supply is the same as the water industry was nationalised but with higher bills, worse service and knowledge that my cash is going to shareholders rather than fixing leaks.
To suggest that I want a nationalised economy implies that you're having your own argument with different issues. Who exactly is the 'you' in "cities were your idea in the first place"?? Either have a rational argument *or* be surreal - doing both at once is ineffective.
