With out a profit motive to incentives constant promotion of pointless commodities. Yeah, why wouldn't we? Economic and rational planning will obviously do away with such nonsense.

We'll see fewer scams when more people are taken care of and more people are educated.

Do we have more scams or less under capitalism? Hard to say. I think scams in capitalism (like Netflix fees, rent increases, sales tax, inflation, etc, not even the obvious ones like fake medicine, fortune telling, bogus gofundmes) are mostly subtle. But at a deeper level, most people who fall for a con are people who want to be conned. I don't think that's a product of an economic situation so much as a social one. There were still scams in USSR and Mao's China, I'm absolutely sure, but that was more due to the socio-economic conditions of the time than "socialism"

so those are racing strips for horses ?

>Do you think we'll see less scams under socialism?
Yes i think so, production for use instead of production for sale, should make the systemic push for scams go away. And when people are no longer made desperate by economic precariousness they will be less vulnerable to mind tricks
