“...there will no longer be advertisements filling newspapers or commercial breaks on TV”
No advertisement means no income.
Unless they plan on taxing the people to be educated in the joys of socialism.
The left feel that they have complete control now and for once they can tell the truth about their goals, but I think they are premature in their euphoria.
The American people are being forced at the point of a “gun” (the full weight of the Federal Government) to change their cultural beliefs and to accept things that just a few years ago if not illegal were at least unacceptable. These change are not coming about because of popular desire, but from unelected judges, and propaganda of the main stream media.
Will this trend continue unopposed? I don’t think so, if for no other reason then life is getting harder for the average American and we are being told that this is the new reality.
The left has removed the safety valve (by demonizing anyone that does not agree with them, and if that does not work, destroy them). They are making any attempt to demonstrate disapproval for what they believe a crime, labeling it “hate speech”.
What happens with a pressure cooker when the safety valve has been disabled and yet the pot remains on the fire?
There is not question there will be a backlash from all these attempt to change America, the only questions will be when and how bad will it get when it occurs.
In this new socialist society that has "erased corporate control," there will no longer be advertisements filling newspapers or commercial breaks on TV. The media would be owned by "labor unions, neighborhood associations, and cultural centers." That way, the "media can represent the interests of working people" -- not the interests of corporate sponsors.
I wonder if the people who write this kind of nonsense ever stop to think that there is absolutely nothing that prevents them from establishing this kind of media right now, if they can find funders.
They of course don't think in such terms. Whatever the gleam in their eye regarding the new order, far down the road, their immediate, overriding motivation in the here and now is to suppress media outlets that they don't like. They are thugs, using a vision of a socialist future to rationalize their thuggery now.
In their wonderful world, I am sure the camp guards and staff will be fully unionized.

As I tell my young friends, who are now starting to “get it,” the problem with communism can be seen with the problems of Obamacare. In order for it to work, in order for any socialist program to work, you must remove the freedom of choice. And the freedom to choose is what defines a free society. Government mandate is what defines a master-slave or totalitarian society.
Obamacare has been an eye-opening experience for many young people.
The jackals are becoming bolder; either their confidence or their desperation must be growing.
Ordinary people will run nothing, since the vast majority of ordinary people aren't left wing eggheads.
Anyone want to watch Ed Schultz 24-7? I mean, he’s unintentionally amusing but that would be a little too much.
Oddly enough - the Left currently represents more and more people who are not working.
FOX network to be used like in The Truman Show, with Ø in the role of Truman Burbank. Except, of course, he knows he’s on live TV all the time, and loves it. It would be beamed across the globe, with appropriate ad placements to pay for it [operators are standing by...]. The Foremost Mission of NASA would be changed once again, from muslim outreach, to sole coverage of FOXHaven, as the network gets a fresh name.
The Mooch playing the role of Meryl, naturally. Reggie Love as Sylvi... I mean Lauren.
How is it going to End?
Tried by the USSR.
PS USSR went extinct.
