De Propaganda

A libel

Propaganda is not only the worst form of argument - it is opium and gas. It is poison. It spreads around in great, impressive sounds, insidiously magnificent with its bright shapes and colors which force their way into our heads, imprinting their power there forever. It takes hold of our minds, seduces, hypnotizes them like tin soldiers vowed to the struggle for ideals. And then, heroically self-confident, we rush upon our innocent fellow citizens to enact the noble mission of spreading the epidemic. For the virus of propaganda has always been incurably contagious.
