Agitation and Integration: two often closely related but very different types of propagandas: one used to provoke internal conflict the other to shape members of a population into a mold. Agitation: The propaganda of insurgency and revolution. Includes how internal enemies are used as scapegoats to manufacture then exploit hatreds as means to an insurgent’s end, Mao’s view on “the enemy residing in every man” and fitting him into the “Socialist Mold”, Hitler’s internal agitation, spontaneous volunteer propagandists, and how facts and “truth” are irrelevant to the person burning with primal hatred.
