Aren't you then saying that it's impossible for anyone to hold a sincere view that "the state is legitimate"? By definition you're defining any such view as propaganda. All propagandists believe the state is legitimate, but not all people that believe the state is legitimate are propagandists.

I think that if they spread that view, when paid/supported/otherwise made to exist by whatever entity that view is benefitting, it's advertising. And if it's political in nature, then it's propaganda. The British state funds the BBC and relies on it to show the world what the UK is all about, and to me, that's qualifies as propaganda.
