Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary purpose of capitalist propaganda is to maintain ideological hegemony, or the capacity for any ruling class to have their interests be reflected “as the common interest of all members of society, put in an ideal form, ‘’ so that their interests are universalized as the only valid ones.
