Aldous Huxley, novelist

The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human. -Aldous Huxley, novelist (1894-1963)

Perhaps the original context of this statement made it clear that Huxley was talking about particular propagandists, but standing alone, this isn't true because it is too sweeping. Often propagandists have other purposes, sometimes even noble.
