An artist, performer, or creator who produces agitprop; someone who uses art as a tool for political agitation or propaganda.
From 'agitprop' (Russian coinage) plus the agent suffix '-ist'. This combines a Russian word root with a Greek/Latin suffix, creating a hybrid that reflects agitprop's international influence on leftist artistic movements.
The agitpropist was a uniquely 20th-century figure—part artist, part activist, part educator—who believed beautiful theater or music could actually change people's political beliefs, a radical idea that connects to modern street art and protest music.
