thats a faq what do you think about it?

negatif- i hate propaganda

bourgeois porpaganda or propaganda by communist parties are both i dont like them

its neccesary

wrong only an idealist would say that

i got friends from all over the world, most of them arrent socialist and most of them dont know much about politics.
one of my friends is from mexico, he dont like politics either.
i tried to show him some socialism, he isnt negative, but he just dont belive in it, he tells me that in mexico the communist party almost won this year, but he dont like them, he tells that they use propoganda and that 90% of all mexican voters dont know anything about politiks, and are just offers of spin/propoganda.
not only the communist party, the goverment is also corrupt, he tells that in the 60's (i know its long ago) they shoot some demostrating students,
about 1000 where killed, i think its the same goverment today.

ow now i forgot what i wanted to say with this
anyway solve the problem! thats why we are here! as socialists!

Well, it has been used by just about every government during the 20th century. I say it's necessary.

because all the governments have been bourgeois governments.

propaganda is a tool of the bourgeoisie

Hypotheticaly speaking, it would be a positive word. Since the prefix Pro is positive.

The American Media and its smarmy pundits are the most blatant source of disgusting, partisan propaganda ever conceived, and they stand completely affront to Democracy and credible journalism. Then again, neither of those two are their aim, so this is fine for them.

They lull people into thinking that they're participating in a system that they truly influence. More importantly, they don't actually "report" anything. They clearly all hold their own ideological biases, and basically slander anyone or anything that they're personally opposed to by distorting actual stories that have occurred and, if that's not enough, by lying.

Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" is great for learning more about their bullshit, and, even though he is a comedian by trade, his views are insightful.

Here is a bunch of smiley faces to make this post seem happier:

it's true what you say but some media isn't that wayþ
20 years ago iceland had a lot of news papers, one for each political party but with the fall of the soviet union those newspapers suddenly went bankrubt(I wonder why?) and there was just one rightist paper left controlled by the biggest party in iceland, in 2000 a new newspaper was established and with in 3 year it had taken over 90% of icelandic media
that made the rights very angry and they tried to put through a law that forbad them to own such a large share, it was vetoed by the president wich was the first time that theat had been done in iceland.

but the rightist weren't done soon they prosicuted the owners of the media firm with 80 charges in the end they were convicted for only 3 and the prosicution took 3 years and costed 2 million dollars.

and yeah that one newspaper wich is loyal to the rightists has gone from 150.000 readers to 100.000ish

so after all that the righties lost viewers? LOL
