Would someone else please answer this I'm getting sick and tired of explaining why commodities are bad.

Nat briefly advertising convinces you of need that doesnt exist (I know I need food because I get hungry I dont need a mc chicken etc. until they try to convince me) and if it makes people happy to have a particular brand in a socialist society it could be mass produced for all (Therefore losing its meaning when everyone has one and real factors such as durability come into play).

I dont think you understand the grip these things have over the world or the misery it creates in a poverty stricken household whenever advertising convinces the childrean they cant do without a play station.

Why do wish to defend this system anyway are you being paid? (it seems to be the motivation for everything else)
