Similarities: Both Propaganda and modern advertising campaigns aim to influence individuals' beliefs or actions by promoting a particular message or point of view. They often use persuasive techniques to evoke emotions and drive desired behaviors.
Differences: Propaganda is typically associated with promoting a political or ideological agenda, often using misleading or biased information. Modern advertising campaigns, on the other hand, are more focused on promoting products or services in a competitive market environment, using creative strategies to attract and engage consumers.
Propaganda for advertising is used to promote products or services to consumers, often by exaggerating their benefits. On the other hand, propaganda for political leveraging is used to manipulate public opinion or promote a specific agenda by distorting or manipulating information to sway political outcomes. While both types of propaganda aim to influence people, they serve different purposes and target different audiences.
Advertising are messages sent through the media by vendors hoping to get people to buy their products. Propaganda are messages sent through the news media by the government hoping to get the people to believe what the government wants them to believe, whether it be truth or fiction.
In the old days, propaganda was a term that came from religion-- specifically Catholicism. It meant "to spread the faith," especially by missionary work. Later, the word took on the meaning of intentionally spreading information that was manipulative, used by a government or by the powerful, to influence public opinion and persuade people to do what those in power wanted. Advertising can certainly be a kind of propaganda, but historically, the main purpose of advertising has been to support consumerism-- companies use advertising to persuade people to buy certain products or shop in certain stores.These days, in this era of social media and 24/7 cable TV, politicians have embraced advertising to get their messages out and try to demonize their opponents-- whether to persuade people to vote for them, or to scare them into supporting certain policies. As the other comment on this page notes, political propaganda (such as so-called "attack ads") frequently relies on half-truths, lies, exaggerations, and scary claims. So, the difference between the two in modern times is that advertising does not have to be propaganda, and it does not have to have a malevolent purpose-- it can simply be a way to persuade potential customers to spend money. But there is definitely a place where advertising and propaganda align-- in political campaigning.
Propaganda can happen in various forms and contexts, but recent examples include misinformation campaigns on social media platforms during elections, persuasive messaging used by governments to sway public opinion on certain policies, and deceptive advertisements employed by corporations to promote their products. It's important to critically evaluate information sources to discern between propaganda and accurate information.
Yes, it is entirely possible and there are very many examples from history. For example, Hitler's public speaking and propaganda campaigns during World War 2, Stalin's propaganda between the 1920s and the 1940s.
tell me the difference between the word advertising and marketing.
I think the difference is only geographic location and penetration of target audience.

Advertising is normally conducted in the form of planned campaigns, in paid-for media. Publicity is the term for ensuring that the product receives editorial coverage.
Propaganda is a word for lies constructed and published by a politician or government in order to deceive people into believing something that is not true. There is only a fine divide between propaganda and market advertising.
Advertisement is purely applicable for commercial purposes. Propaganda may be true or false which is applicable in market or society. as on today the difference is erased from human mind.
