What about propaganda separates it from advertising or interpersonal communication?

The degree of lie and power.

Advertisements can be misleading, but if they go too far can be subject to false advertisement. No such check is there for a government participating in propaganda. That government also has the ability to wage war and oppress people rather than just sell products.
