Every public communication is propaganda, that is the point being made (which you missed). The difference between good or bad propaganda are the goals.
For example: Propaganda for higher wages and polical participation? Good.
Propaganda for wage depression and chauvinism of any kind? Bad.
Which brings us to your post: Most soviet propaganda indeed was of the good kind. While most american propaganda indeed is of the bad one.
I mean you ever see The Wire? In the first season the “heroes” beat the shit out of bystanders so much a child loses an eye. They then go on to solve murders.
I haven’t see the wire. But I don’t remember they doing that in CSI Miami, they just solved murder cases in ingenious ways.
For some people CSI is like extreme propaganda. Then they proceded to eat a literal propaganda video from a terrorist group that’s literally murdering people and justifying why they are murdering people and be cool with that. The other guy literally threatened me over that, it’s crazy.

I don’t think that’s a good definition, since Holocaust documentaries would be propaganda since it makes America look like the good guys.

FYI, the Soviet Union also recruited Nazis into their ranks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim
If you compre both events beyong the absolute surface you might find the difference:
The soviets kept them under lock and key, extracted their knowledge and then got rid of them.
The US gave them high paying jobs, citizenship, honored their work after they passed, and amnesty for their crimes.
Let me get this right, your saying all reporting on the Holocaust is propaganda?

I think any books I’ve read you’d call propaganda, I’m not sure what you wouldn’t call propaganda.
Well you see, American propaganda is cringe, while my superior vintage Soviet propaganda is based.
Hoped this comment was helpful :)

So only bad guys solve murder cases?
Good guys let random vicious murders on the loose.
I should trust an obvious propaganda expert , but I don’t know…
