    Under socialism the workers running the factories will get to decide what their packaging looks like and the brands will all be extremely regional and quirky instead of hegemonic and focus group tested.

      This is what I think too. People like to decorate, customize and personalize things. They have been doing it since as far as we can tell from archeological evidence. So grasping for completely depersonalized utilitarian packaging for everything as if they are subsistence rations seems like it is trying to minimize the outcome rather than solving the problem that exists regarding affordability and sustainability.
