I refer to the catholic diocesan system. I believe is the most cost-effective large scale indoctrination system which allows to reproduce their ideology for mass consumption, but costs very little to society.
The system works because church does not pays for housing, family support (but they replace your family with the church itself), inheritance, retirement, child-raising is payed by church but every kid given to the priests becomes another slave. Political campaign is a stupid concept, church does not use this method.
In theory a priest is supposed to be celibate but almost nobody is. The priest also gets housing thru your institution, and he will become embedded in society implanted by the church so he becomes the narrative center of a local community. Any priest is probed for ideological commitment, to the point where church prefers if you are ideologically aligned and dumb, rather than having someone smart but ideologically less committed. Despite of that, a priest can advance in career and all books are payed and all courses given for free.
Now think of other mass propagandists, like journalists or advertisement gurus like andrew tate or like nick fuentes or like alex jones. All these people require salaries that have to be competitive with private industry standards. Urban living has to be compensated, they need retirement plans. Also think of university system, it is a mass approach to prropaganda but its putting everyone on debt slavery.
No priest goes in debt slavery to study theology and philosophy. University costs society as a whole a massive amount, and spreads so little actual knowledge in comparison to what church spreads with much less social costs payed.
During periods when literacy among the general population was extremely low, clergy often formed the literate class, so they became archivists and administrators and warlords and historians and whatever else that matters. And they did it thru central planning, mass propaganda, distribution models.
Elite clergy underwent far more theology, law, logic and philosophy than the tard low tier priest. An elite clergy also learned memorymaxing (a set of memory enhancing technique taught in schools to the elite) and unlike modern mass-prropagandists most of the elite clergy were overqualified relative to the role they were serving. Instead today you get underqualified propagandists like nickfuentes or vaush on youtube.
Another aspect of superiority of church redistribution models is their idea of embedding locally the propagandists is a touch of genius. Modern propagandists instead operated thru television and internet and messaging across multitudes of media. The priest instead propagandizes kids, baptizes them too, propaganda at the funeral, propaganda during education, its embedded everywhere. From cradle to grave, and its local as well.
Replication cost of the priestly caste is super low, the lowest of them all. Cathedral is also a school, monastery is a school, seminaries are schools, dioceses are schools. Marginal costs of producing another priest is super low. Also priests are also payed very little on avg. Only the big shots clergy elite get the very very big big bucks.
and cost of education, its ludicrous, its very low. Texts were standardized, mass produced, doctrine is centralized and theres a chain of command that decides whats doctrine and what isnt. prestige of schools alone attracts new recruits.
Compare this model to the lowIQ soviet propaganda: Soviet party has high coercion cost, surveilance costs, purges to do, concentration camps to build necessary for their ideology to function, secret police, a bureaucracy created just for censorship.
But I dont want to make you think churh does no censorship or any of that. Church censors even MORE than the soviet system in real life.
My point is modern mass media require massive capitals. Church requires much less. HR ideology, PR ideology, corporate ideology. Its like every aspect of modern mass media is incoherent divided into 200 expensive branches that cost society a fortune. Church coudl do that without all that useless expense.
University ideological reproduction is excellent and is probably the only real argument someone can use against church mass propaganda. I do acknowledge the superiority of university system, but in some areas you notice university requires state funding, research infrastructure payed by society, student debt is a massive problem. And also the majority of students do not really "study" they simply go there for the party life and booze and learn nothing they just study before the exam, and once they go out they just get debt.
What priest gets debt from the church? its stupid. No priest gets debt. priests get their books free, recycled shit propaganda but at least is free.
Priest mass propaganda is the cheapest.
