There is really little point to discussing propaganda. It is a matter of practice, not of theory.
One cannot determine theoretically whether one propaganda is better than another.
Rather, that propaganda is good that has the desired results, and that propaganda is bad that does not lead to the desired results.
It does not matter how clever it is, for the task of propaganda is not to be clever, its task is to lead to success.
I therefore avoid theoretical discussions about propaganda, for there is no point to it.
Propaganda shows that it is good if over a certain period it can win over and fire up people for an idea.
If it fails to do so, it is bad propaganda.
If propaganda wins the people it wanted to win, it was presumably good, and if not, it was presumably bad.
No one can say that your propaganda is too crude or low or brutal, or that it is not decent enough, for those are not the relevant criteria.
Its purpose is not to be decent, or gentle, or weak, or modest; it is to be successful.

Chilling. Goebbels saying, no matter how we get the people to hate Jews, if they hate Jews we were a success.
And they were a success.
