> Did I leave anything major out?

You've limited your list to federal services. But state and local governments provide plenty more "public utility in a Capitalism society", don't they? Schools, fire protection, police for example.



Yeah I did. I realize that each state and municipality has the ability to do this. But they aren’t countries. Is it fair to compare e.g. one cherry-picked state to France? I thought maybe it wasn’t, but you certainly have a point.
