I strongly disagree, but fair enough, if you're consistent. I'm curious, what is your ethical reasoning behind that? Do you oppose markets, or just communication from producers to consumers in markets?
The active pursuit of more effective means of psychological manipulation seems to be the reason most people have a beef with marketing. Marketing is never about fully honest, fact based "communication from producers to consumers." Distortion, concealment, and need-creation is more marketing's forte. Marketers don't say: "this is our product, buy it if you need it." They say: "here is why you want to buy our product."
