“The pioneer Russian marxist Plekhanov pointed out an important consequence of this distinction. “A propagandist presents many ideas to one or a few persons; an agitator presents only one or a few ideas, but presents them to a mass of people”. Like all such generalisations this one should not be taken too literally. Propaganda can, in favourable circumstances, reach thousands and tens of thousands. And the ‘mass of people’ reached by agitation is a highly variable quantity. Nevertheless, the general point is sound.”

How does that translate to posting this story here? Is it a bad thing to discuss here?
