I've seen that movie. It wasn't that bad. It was a future similar to Orwell's 1984......

That's the way I see it as well. I don't understand why people are portraying this as a communist's wet dream. It's a story in the same vein as 1984, Fahrenheit 451, etc. A warning to extremists on both sides.

When authoritarian regimes claim power all persons are subservient to the Party. So IMO, its just an underdog flick.

Oh I can tell you why...its because they communists themselves portray this movie as their own wet dream, the "real truth", more than "just a movie". Just go over to DU or some other site and you will see these wackjobs. They hold occasional protest here in DC wearing the Guy Fawkes masks.

"That's the way I see it as well. I don't understand why people are portraying this as a communist's wet dream."

Because it is. The graphic novel from which it was based was a leftist protest against Margaret Thatcher.

"It's a story in the same vein as 1984, Fahrenheit 451, etc. A warning to extremists on both sides."

It's no such thing. In the story, the good guys are the leftists, the bad guys are conservatives, and in their world, conservatives = fascists. Meanwhile, in a scene of stunning cognitive dissonance, a queer character praises the beauty of the Koran, the book of a religion that would seem him stoned to death. Even Islamists are better than their own conservtives in their twisted minds.

We complain about the crap hollywood shovels at us, and then you guys post things like "it really wasn't that bad". Well, then quit complaining about the way Hollywood portrays America and conservatives, because you're subsidizing them.
