Well, not socialist but democratic components are necessary. (Popper has
refuted most of Marx points, making him look, well, not very bright to
say the least). In the case below about water supply, those
underserved by water supplies should legaly claim that some sort of
economic justice be enforced. (Maybe some sort of policy where the government
buys water supplies and sells it to the poor at a lower price). Now in
the case of prisions, well they can't be privitized and whoever tought
of it first should be arrested. IMHO
