This mindless belief that there is "socialism" in the US is one of the fundamental fantacies of the rightwing nuts where every instance of cooperation and commom standards is erroneously thrown in this fantacy. And I have yet to see any actual proof or detailed examples of this "socialism" that they have created as an enemy to fight against.
It takes little effort for them to go outside, walk to the store, and count the number of examples of real "socialism" and real free market. This is an excercise that will go unattempted as it would yield no "socialism" in reality.
They do though regularly use "punishment" in interacting with others. If there is any fundamental source of punishing behavior, it comes from right wing nuts who are their own example.
Government uses compulsion. It doesn't "cooperate." So-called "common standards" are government imposed standards. You are deliberately defining socialism so narrowly that nothing qualifies. That's a classic socialist tactic.
There are two ways to run an economy: private control or government control. The later method is what we call "socialism." As for the rest of your blather, it's meaningless gibberish.
Then why do they need government to protect their monopoly?
What does the term "natural monopoly" mean to you?
Utility monopolies are protected from competition by the government. It's against the law to setup a competing utility in the same service area. There is no "natural" about it.
Prove this entitlement to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When you do, you will find that is a right afforded you by the government by the people.
When did you cede my right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness each of which are inherent rights, to the government?
Oh, and you and your kind can stick your due process clause of the 14th amendment up your ass with a red hot poker.
The rest of your post is nothing more than a straw-man argument that we are all slaves to the state and we should be thankful. I reject your reality and insert my own.

They always have been right afforded you by the government. I can prove it. You just don't get it. You can't prove anything to the contrary.
You are also an abusive asshole as demonstrated above. When you don't get what you want, you get all angry because your emotionally stunted.

It's sad how few Americans understand their own Constitution. High School civics failed you, my friend.
They are protected BECAUSE they are regulated BECAUSE they are natural monopolies.
If I have the only well in a town with no springs or rivers, I have a natural monopoly.
If I am the only one allowed to sell water in a town with a dozen springs and a large river, there is nothing "natural" about the monopoly, it is simply a trust enforced by state.
Keeping utilities under the dominion of government hacks greatly adds to the power of the state. The compelling interest is power. Competition in the market keeps the state from having a boot on the throat of vital commodities such as power and water, thus the state prohibits competition in favor of a single, well connected concern that will unquestioningly do the bidding of the state.
Rather than a "natural monopoly," this is a classical trust, inclusive of contrived shortages to solidify the stranglehold on the captive customer base.
Good news. You can live off grid. Please consider it.

Bad news; you do poorly off your meds. Please resume taking them.
Except none of this is actually true.

Here is an example of a real utility company.

That's nice.
In no way supports your fallacy that they are a "natural monopoly."
But then, you always were about blowing smoke, rather than supporting your claims....

Natural monopolies are well established in economics. They are also well established in the history of Supreme Court rulings.
I've backed up everything I have ever posted.
You are just making up your own shit.

They are looking for some almighty authority that they can use to get what they want without regard for others. And they have this mistaken co-mingling of the Declaration of Independence with the Constitution

Which specific "natural monopolies" are you referring to? I read back a ways and I never saw any description more specific than "utilities" which is somewhat vague.
Limited resources, like land, airwave and water management are certainly easier to justify as "natural" monopolies.
