I think any books I've read you'd call propaganda, I'm not sure what you wouldn't call propaganda.

Well you see, American propaganda is cringe, while my superior vintage Soviet propaganda is based.

Hoped this comment was helpful :)

Every public communication is propaganda, that is the point being made (which you missed). The difference between good or bad propaganda are the goals.

For example: Propaganda for higher wages and polical participation? Good.

Propaganda for wage depression and chauvinism of any kind? Bad.

Which brings us to your post: Most soviet propaganda indeed was of the good kind. While most american propaganda indeed is of the bad one.
