That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propagandaโs task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.
Joseph GoebbelsThere was no point in seeking to convert the intellectuals. For intellectuals would never be converted and would anyway always yield to the stronger, and this will always be "the man in the street." Arguments must therefore be crude, clear and forcible, and appeal to emotions and instincts, not the intellect. Truth was unimportant and entirely subordinate to tactics and psychology.
