Nevertheless, this type of propaganda has a special value, for it serves to convince those who sign the appeal, of the necessity for carrying on propaganda; so a corps of propagandists, if I may use the term, is thus trained.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That's basically what's going on now: Everything is propaganda.
Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.
Propaganda is to a democracy what violence is to a dictatorship.
Propaganda must appeal to mankind's better judgment and to the necessary belief in a better future. For this belief, the valley of the shadow of death is but a war station on the road to the blessed summit.
It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale.
The easiest way to propagandize people is to let a propaganda theme go in through an entertainment picture when people do not realize they are being propagandized.
Propaganda has a negative connotation, which it partially deserves, but I think there is some propaganda that is very positive. I feel that if you can do something that gets people's attention, then maybe they'll go and find out more about the person.
Propaganda, to be effective, must be believed. To be believed, it must be credible. To be credible, it must be true.
Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.
Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves.
