Jacques Ellul describes propaganda as an indispensable technique of modern technological society, acting as the "Siamese twin" that holds the system together. He defines it not merely as "lies," but as a set of methods employed by an organized group to bring about the active or passive participation of a psychologically unified mass of individuals incorporated into an organization.
Ellul argues that propaganda is necessarily linked to technological development; technical progress cannot occur without the consent of the masses, which is manufactured through psychological manipulation. The modern state, regardless of its ideology, is forced to use propaganda as a basic tool of government to ensure public obedience and compliance with technical and economic goals.
There is a connection between Ellul's description of the function of propaganda even in democratic societies and Hegel's ideal of a free, rational state. You can find my view here:
