propagandizer prop'a·gan'diz'er n.

verb

To teach to accept a system of thought uncritically: brainwash, indoctrinate. See teach/learn.

propagandism, the tendency to compose literary works chiefly to serve the purpose of propaganda, that is, writing to persuade people to support a particular religious or political cause. Propagandist writing is thus a kind of didactic literature directed toward changing or confirming readers' and audiences' allegiances. In liberal criticism, the term is used disparagingly of left‐wing literary forms such as agitprop, socialist realism, or the epic theatre of Brecht, with the suggestion that these are betrayals of true Art.
