How effective could it have been? It didn't work on you, that's for sure!
Seems that you were severely affected by the American propaganda, despite not even living there. Which just proves the point.
If you have any examples of this "effective" and convincing USSR propaganda, let's see it!

Until you come up with some hard evidence, I maintain that America has and always had, considerably more effective and all encompassing propaganda than a some red banners, stars and murals in the USSR.

Gosh, in the USA, there is even a commercial break on TV every 10 minutes, to advertise what essentially adds up to "the American dream". At least in the USSR, people could watch TV relatively uninterupted. We've already established elsewhere that there is roughly the same amount of ideological and nationalistic influence in children, and that the USA had considerably more films and TV series depicting the enemy in a negative light.

So let's see some examples of this super efficient USSR propaganda that you are talking about, Eric!
