How do we feel about propaganda? And what would the definition be?

As far as I understand it, propaganda is simply a tool used to convey political messages accurately and concisely in hopes to get people over to whatever side it is coming from. Am I wrong in this?

Is there a "good" propaganda and "bad" propaganda?

EDIT: Rephrased some things

I am of the opinion that Marxist propaganda must take the form of the early method of democratic agitation first used (to my knowledge) by Licinius Macer, of whom Ceasar was a contemporary. It quite simply aims to provide nothing more than they facts of the matter, and let the masses decide (e.g. Lenin and his "3 Methods of Governance", or in "State and Revolution" where rather than try and convince the reader that communism is correct, he simply states things as they are, and analysis them, allowing the reader to make up their own mind).

Great piece. He wrote it during 1905 revolution, for the workers and peasants being politically confused by the events, to have a very base and understandable reference of the current situation on one page leaflet.
