Obligated how? By what mechanisms do you propose that those in the state be compelled to do this, since they have control of all the resources?

Please show this. I provided a simple explanation for how state ownership and private ownership is largely indistinguishable, with the exception that state owners have no incentive beyond the political to preserve the capital value of the resource. Please show how this is mistaken.
