Propaganda and the Reconversion of Consciousness. The Communist Agitator. Case Study: “The Agitator’s Booklet”(II)

Summary/Abstract: In both public and private life, aggressive exposure to communist ideology through acts of culture, false or misleading information generates an alternative reality. Therefore, one of the first purposes of the political agitation was to shape the public’s perception regarding global and domestic issues. Presenting events and facts one-sidedly, overwhelming people with visions of a possible paradisiac socialist society, and appealing to frustration creates a confusing but conveniently manipulated context. By creating such a situation, citizens were encouraged to become informers who were rewarded for revealing enemies of progress and setting an example of civic morality. As a result of public and private spaces degradation, a passive and resigned citizens emerged. By providing a comprehensive overview of the communist agitator’s work, this study is intended to bring it to the attention of the public. Additionally, it will discuss agitator’s ideological education, the techniques and the strategies he was recommended to, and how he approached the agitation duties. To carry out this study, the booklet „The Agitator’s Booklet” will be used as a primary source, which reflects the agitator’s work regading political-patriotic education,propaganda and many more.
