Think of all we could create with the billions that go into advertisments

    I think about this a lot: under capitalism, how many people have jobs that are totally unnecessary under socialism. You've got all the sales and marketing jobs. And also retail. And then everyone who supports retail. Wouldn't need most lawyers. A lot less cops. Probably a bunch others too. So even if socialism and capitalism are equally efficient - or even if capitalism is a little more efficient - no way capitalism can overcome socialism's more efficient allocation of labor because it has so many bullshit jobs.

      Nice try, but under socialism there is just no incentive to work, so everyone would stand alone in a room at home until they died of thirst like a Sims character.
