Like, if tomorrow there was magically communism in all fucking USA+Europe+Australia, how would they de-imperialize their economies?
More importantly, would they? Is the desire for treats and living off other countries stronger than socialism?
Is Europe at least self-food-sufficient?
Yeah but the advertising of the 20s through 50s was like, "buy our cigarettes!" or "use borax!" The advertising where it's a personal identity didnt hit overdrive until the 70s and brands started to focus on social liscense or whatever the fuck. Listen to some of those old ads, it's kinda funny to see the difference.
