Propaganda Universe
Propaganda has become the dominant form of public discourse in the information age. Propaganda Universe is dedicated to helping citizens, journalists, scholars, and policy-makers understand the nature of propaganda, disinformation, and information warfare in order to identify and resist manipulative communication. Preserving our ability to think independently, both as individuals and as a society, is crucial to being able to decide what is in our own best interests and not those of others.

Democracy in Peril: The Menace of Totalitarian Propaganda
In this episode of Propaganda Universe, we delve into the world of totalitarian propaganda and its challenge to democratic systems.
Join us as we explore the function and role of propaganda in totalitarian movements. We examine the relationship between power, propaganda, and totalitarianism, the aims of totalitarian propaganda, and some of its techniques.
Drawing on the keen insights from leading scholars on totalitarianism we describe the unsettling nature of totalitarian propaganda and suggest parallels to a major portion of our contemporary political communication.
Are we witnessing echoes of totalitarian propaganda in today's political landscape? What do you think?
And don't forget to tune in for Part Two of this series where we discuss our vulnerability to totalitarian propaganda and the survival of democratic systems in the face of totalitarian propaganda.
