THE PEOPLE DECIDE

The place of propaganda in a milieu that is not free differs from its place in an open society.

In a dictatorship there is no competing propaganda. Those who dissent from the official line may do so only in a clandestine* manner.

Where there is no open ferment of ideas, the possibility of discerning the true from the spurious is attenuated.

In a democracy, the inevitable arbiter of what propaganda is to be permitted is the people. It is incumbent upon each citizen to choose between competing propagandas while remaining cognizant of the value for a democracy in the existence of all points of view.
