I believe nearly all propaganda takes the form of art because it is easiest to manipulate people’s emotions with art. The purpose of propaganda is to stir up the emotions of people in order to turn them against a certain idea or to convince them that a certain idea is superior to other ideas. In order to have someone commit his or her self completely to a certain cause, they’re heart must be in it, and in order for their heart to be in it, their emotions must be somewhat involved.
