That's why I mentioned exclusivity.

There should be high end private grocers. There should be plastic surgeons. These should be allowed to be privately owned

Plastic surgeons are a necessity for some, no?

Yeah, the hard part is deciding where the line is. This is why I'm a Social Democrat rather than a full libertarian or communist. The places that do socialism well (like Scandinavia) do it by using it where it's most effective and using capitalism where it's most effective. This is a never ending debate, which is absolutely needed to get this line drawn in the correct place.
