Political commissars

Political commissars are officials responsible for ensuring that the political beliefs, ideology, and loyalty of military or organizational members align with the ruling party or government. Originating in Communist regimes like the Soviet Union, they serve as ideological overseers, conveying party policies, fostering unity, and maintaining discipline. Their role often includes propaganda, education, and monitoring to prevent dissent. While primarily associated with military units, similar roles can exist within organizations to uphold ideological standards, acting as both advisors and enforcers of political allegiance to reinforce the dominant political narrative.
