Yeah but dropping advertising (or regulating it) does not necessarily imply a monopoly in terms of who provides what.
That what I wanted to understand. I understand the other way around, that a socialist panned economy with monopolies in terms of who produces what is shit. And leads to advertising not being necessary. But the other way round is what still trips me off and what I am still not able to wrap my head around.
How do you regulate advertising without severely restricting freedom of speech?
Communism seems like the only reasonable way — at least then you’re only restricting your own speech as the entity who produces these things.
