Should Apple buy itself from shareholders?

[Crixalis]

You may not buy iPhone, but you probably must buy the technologies of Apple. The real supporter of Apple in the final is customer. The owner of Apple should be customer, it's everyone.

The world will become better if the technologies of Apple serve the world well, but they belong to shareholders. Why not we buy these technologies from shareholders. So I believe that Apple should buy itself from shareholders.

Confusing as always. You say; "Apple should buy itself from shareholders". So go private, like Dell did with private equity group Silverlake?

Of somehow the citizens of the world should buy Apple and then it will work for them? Oh, well that makes sense. Should it be mandated, that we go house to house collecting money for this purchase? Or should it be voluntary, so each person buys the amount of Apple stock that they want, if they want, almost like it's a public offering of the stock, right?

So if we had to pick between those two options it would be either exactly as it is now, or with PE ownership. Radical theories. Thank you for your contributions.

I think he's trying to make the basic libNazi argument that govt should steal everything at gun point including Apple's technology for the public good. Problem is that would discourage Apple from creating new technology.
