Hmm, I don't read it that way. It's just as easy to interpret that subhead as "the dose makes the poison" in which case the author isn't arguing for Communism as the solution but less-pure Capitalism (i.e., not the Wild West). The advertising industry does strike me as a particularly unpleasant outgrowth of Capitalism, and I liked the characterization of it as buying and selling of things without value, not in the trivial sense of monetary value - it has that, clearly - but social value.
