So, assuming socialism/communism is achieved, how does advertising look to you?
The role is reduced from profit motive to informational - but won't there be a level of personal pride at stake in some cases?
What about all the attention grabby colourful bullshit with a billion cuts? Or the adverts that have a sort of narrative involved? Shouldn't all of this stuff be redundant under socialism?
Curious to know your thoughts on the general ideas of it, because I can't seem to unwrap it.
I like this question. I think advertisements should be focused around public events that encourage positive social behavior. Music and the arts, community projects, gardening schedules, etc. Beyond that, news bytes will fill the role of the "commercial break" - little informative propaganda bits spread throughout your programming. Cable news will largely be made to entertain because we have much better methods to communicate information and the sort of people who watch it probably ought to be contained to their couch.
