This isn't propaganda, exactly, but it has the vibes of anti-Marxist misinformation (is that a thing?): Character mask. It's absolutely incomprehensible and reads like an essay by someone obsessed with the history and theory of Marxism in a weird, unproductive way (you know those types). Naturally, it has remained essentially unchanged for a decade. Bonus points if anyone can figure out what micro-ideology its author is pushing, because I really can't tell.
Huh i thought that was genuinely very interesting, and adds a little bit of nuance to a few points of Marx in capital where "charactermaske" was translated into something else.
Hard to say which specific branch the author belongs to, most of this looks to be a pretty good analysis and explanation of the concept and its usage and evolution, doea a good job at providing different interpretations, responses and critiques while still defending the original concept in some ways.
Where it gets dodgy is towards the end, the inclusion of modern or post "Marxists" that apply it to the USSR in (what looks to to me like) unproductive ways, and fucking zizek at the end, but that might have been a more recent edit
