There’s truth and there’s propaganda.

Facts support the truth.

Propaganda twists the facts.

Something the left is especially skilled at.

The USSR’s books were definitely propaganda, but they relied on the same facts as the West. They made the facts support their ‘truth,’ such as the Allies reluctance to open a western front, allowing the Soviets to absorb the Nazi attack.

I guess what I’m trying to say is truth has a larger component of subjectivism than facts. YMMV
