A snippet from the article. It says: "During the investigation, officials found numerous guns and suits of body armor. They also found anarchist propaganda – including a flag that read “resist fascism, fight oligarchy” and flyers that said “fight ICE terror with class war” and “free all political prisoners.” " lol, propaganda like “fascism is bad”.

    I think propaganda is more than just convincing people. Its also describes a way of acting and a relationship between the one(s) doing propaganda and the one(s) being (not) influenced/convinced by it.

    From my anarchist perspective propaganda as a tool is not really desirable in achieving my vision of anarchism because instead of building trusting realtionships between equals, it kinda opens up a divide between the propagandists and the others without really enabling a dialogue or discussion. Of course in reality its not this much of a binary (and I can see others having a different understanding of the term propaganda), but I think it would be still preferable to choose ways of convincing others that actually build those relationships.
