I mean we socialized the lights and yet the lights continue to exist/light the streets.
That would be different from giving lamplighters control over conversion to electric, who would claim that electricity is too dangerous to use and just kill it. Case in point [1]

I’m happy to socialize the automation companies once the conversion and takeover of automation increase the standard of living of everybody cannot be blocked.
Socializing and then having committee meetings about “how much automation is appropriate” is the situation I’d want to avoid.
None that threatened jobs. "Switching to solar" didn't require people to transition to different jobs.
That's the crux of my point, ignore it, is obfuscation.
