Q4. Do you think that communism would have died if propaganda didn't work? k 1.

Yes because communism means one person is in control and in order to get everybody to agree you need propaganda to brainwash them into agreeing with your ideas. c 3. Communism is a government where one person has control over a whole government or country like in china and in order for this government to stand people need to agree so they don’t try to overthrow the government. In order for this to happen you need to force the people to agree by using propaganda. s 4. Yes all around the world communists governments used propaganda through the newspaper radio tv everything talking about how good their government is and why you should support it so if propaganda did not work and did not convince people to support the government people would have revolted and the communist government would have change to a democracy.
