Only a bad propagandist would make a direct attack on an established, reasoned, durable opinion, accepted cliché, or fixed pattern. A skillful propagandist does not try to change mass opinion or go against an accepted structure.

Propaganda must be a reflection of the fundamental structures of society to be successful and not contradictory of existing opinions. The main task of propaganda is to utilize the conditioned symbols as transmitters of that culture to serve its purpose. Individuals are part of a culture and are therefore psychologically shaped by that culture. These are indicated by principal symbols of the culture the propagandist wishes to attack since these symbols express the attitudes of a particular culture. The propagandist must know the current tendencies and the stereotypes among the public he is trying to reach. Propaganda must also attach itself to the pre-existing fundamental currents of the society it seeks to influence. While propaganda is focused on reaching the individual, it cannot only rely on building off what already exists in the individual. One cannot make just any propaganda any place for anybody. Propaganda carries within itself, of intrinsic necessity, the power to take over everything that can serve it.
