The main goal is to stop people from organizing. Besides, if the revolution is strong enough, surely it can survive the people being exposed to competing ideas?
You underestimate how much anti-left propaganda the West pumps out
Perhaps. But I also have observed how quickly governments that are struggling to contain protests resort to disrupting the Internet to interrupt organization efforts. As for propaganda, no amount of seed will give you a harvest if there's no soil to grow it in. Treating the people like little children that must be protected from dangerous ideas that would lead them astray strikes me as a sign of intellectual weakness.
