LOL is the North Korean propaganda machine the modern Tocqueville? Or is the corporate propaganda machine too powerful a counter argument against self knowledge in America today? All that is necessary today is to label another a communist, a Marxist, a socialist, a freeloader, and thought becomes unnecessary. It used to be you were possessed, a witch, satan, or a heretic and categorization explained and labeled the other with the obvious outcomes. Next came you were a Jew, a ****, a ******, a Catholic, any immigrant nationality, or even today, a Muslim. Again the obvious outcomes. Simple categories represent a substitution for thought and thus I call those who use these simple categorizations stupid. Stupid has this wonderful non-specific quality. Seems fair to me. I have to stop using wingnuts!

Nah, that too is nicely non-specific.
One thing I think everyone misses in their propaganda, is that while their intent is to present a negative picture of America, in there is another picture of a land in which personal freedom, even if often bizarre, is allowed. And material well being is somewhat evident. Prop often contains enough of a picture for some to arrive at another point of view. Propaganda doesn't start at zero, it starts at a place where hopefully the intelligent reader see another side. Read PC's propaganda as an example, but then since we are free nation, check out Wallis's site and his work. PC would fit well in North Korea given her dislike of American values of justice and fiarness. Communism as a growth industry died long ago.
