Sure does! Many utilities have been or are publicly owned. I don't have a problem with public ownership. An example is Alberta's healthcare system - the public facilities can provide certain surgeries at a fraction of private surgeries, yet the government insists private is better.

Calling Trump a Communist is red baiting and arguably stokes fear over public ownership.
