“Propaganda against war is itself a form of war propaganda.”
“The result of this is that so-called peace propaganda is just as dishonest and intellectually disgusting as war propaganda. Like war propaganda, it concentrates on putting forward a ‘case’, obscuring the opponent’s point of view and avoiding awkward questions.”
“The greatest threat to peace is the barrage of rightist propaganda portraying war as decent, honorable, and patriotic.”
“All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.”
“Pornography, it seems to me, is no different from war films or propaganda films in that it tries to make the visceral, horrific, or transgressive elements of life consumable”
“We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.”
