Are there any notable differences in your opinion that differs ads from propaganda and vice versa? Or do you think that both of these are the same thing?

I would say that ads are a form of propaganda specifically focused on making the target buy something or generate profit in some other way. Really, most things contain an element of propaganda. Whether it’s detrimental (to the proletariat) depends on the intent – propaganda from the imperial core (e.g. ads, “news”, government-aligned entertainment like the many long-running copaganda series) is not the same as propaganda from socialist countries (e.g. promoting socialist values, encouraging people to participate politically, deconstructing imperialist lies)
