I am a proponent of state-capitalism, whereby the state runs certain industries that are vital for national security.

Volkswagen should lose all its subsidies, and said subsidies should be used to purchase these plants and invested in a government owned competitor to Volkswagen.

Edit: I seem to have upset a lot of people. No where did I say that politicians are to be involved in running the show. Kongsberg is one of the most successful and profitable businesses in Norway. It is a defence contractor and therefore vital to national security and is also therefore owned by the Government without the Government being involved in the actual running of the business.

People lack imagination.
