Seems like bad agitprop to me
Bad why? Because it might not be wholly truthful? The goal of propaganda is not to tell the truth but to achieve a goal. The goal of this particular propaganda is to help in creating more socialists by softening views of the USSR. This explanation against the propaganda has existed for decades and yet I have never seen libs make it, not once, not a single fucking time.
The propaganda achieves the goal of helping to create more communists. Therefore I will continue to use it. Especially when it is exceptionally effective. If that ever changes, then I will move on from it.
