communist propaganda

Marxist state media

Communist propaganda is material promoting communist ideology, typically produced by communist parties or governments to advance their political aims.

The phrase often carries a dismissive or hostile tone, used by critics to characterize anything sympathetic to leftist politics: They dismissed the documentary as communist propaganda.

During the Cold War, the term became a catch-all for Soviet messaging, and it still appears in debates about media bias or political education: Is this journalism or communist propaganda?
