Episode I was an anti-capitalism screed. Why would you expect Episode II to be any better?

Hollywood is consumed by the Left. That's why I don't go to movies nor do I watch much TV.

If you want to read an unbelievably good, pro-freedom, pro-capitalism novel (better than The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged) read "Faith of the Fallen" by Terry Goodkind. It destroys the Left's gospel that successful people are evil and that freedom is ephemeral.

His books have always been great. From the very first book the forces of D'Hara pretended to be peaceful while committing atrocities, then kingdoms such as Tamarang forced hard working people to starve for the "common good" of socialism.

Also in "Soul of the Fire" the people of Anderith were conquerers who brought civilization and prosperity to the entire region then were apparently overcome by guilt/liberalism. Minorities were given control over the schools and the new generations were brought up to be ashamed of the achievements of their ancestors and to hate themselves. The descendants of the Anders wind up living as second class citizens and must go to special sensitivity training seminars every week where they're reminded how evil their ancestors were by revisionist historians.
