I was curious on here if anyone noticed that the "V" character from V for Vendetta is very similar to a form of Zorro mixed with the Count of Monte Cristo? To continue my comparison Zorro also translates to the word "Fox" in Spanish and the phonetic pronunciation of the word "Fox" sounds a lot like Fawkes as in "Guy Fawkes" or "man fox". With the crux of the plot being based on the courage and intrigue of an outlaw hero overcoming a social authority with a LONG history of corruption.
(continued) guys, and good guys who do bad things. And then there are the masses, the every day people, those who only follow orders, uphold the status quo.
I love the point he makes about the characters being more than just "good guys" and "bad guys". As a writer, I am always apalled by the lack of moral complexity in most of nowadays books. Its always the incorruptible good guys, who are all exessively good and virtuous and kind and so forth, and the evil bad guys, who all are wicked, sadistic and malevolant to the core without exeption. In real life, it isn't as simple as that; there are good guys serving bad guys, bad guys thinking they are good
This is just an armchair guess, but I think its when you begin to scrutinize "grey" characters and read between the lines it makes people very nervous, because that makes a 2d character become more 3d.

anarchy is fine, especialy being your own master, it's just that when a peron, or better yet a group or persons, decides, on their own, to not abide by that idea and uses force, violence and coercion to make you do things against your will, at that time you realy do need help from a government that removes these people and groups and stops them from using force against you. The group (governement) should protect (the rights of) the individual.
Whenever "V for Vendetta" is mentioned, people immediatly think of the movie. To me, the movie was like "Tom and Jerry" compared to the graphic novel. I really liked the movie, but it seemed more like an action flick rather than a psychological thriller. Its like being a huge fan of "Dracula" without reading Bram Stoker's "Dracula". To each his own, I guess. I'm just hopefull the graphic novel won't fade into obscurity. Because it's definatly the best of its kind.

@StrangeIsMyWorld Look faggot Roman Empire ended guess who took over feudal lords pacts for protection same could be said for the fall of Iraq an America had to deal with tribal loyalty or the clans of Afghanistan or any street gang mafia and social order. People think about survival and raising children but sophomoric intellectuals like yourself.Think about utopia ideas. Its all about the Man with the most guns and gold.
@StrangeIsMyWorld Bitch you fed the troll! History and news already address the nature of humanity. You can be anarchist or a libertarian or perhaps a cowboy or just a guy who likes to dress as a cowboy. The truth is people like order, hell even bushmen in Africa have a set of belief custom or a sense of order in commucating with others. That is my opinion and I got a college degree out of it.
@StrangeIsMyWorld six years of indentured servitude? I got paid laid and hung out with real anarchist the Afghans and guess what they cared about survival, money, Allah and sex.
@J5MARLON The religious extremists in Afghanistan actually are not anarchists at all. Actually quite the opposite preffering a powerful dictatorship ruling over the masses with strict religous rules. Your ideas of anarchism are deeply misguided likely by mainstream propaganda.
@babebeubaboon I was not talking about the religious extremist in Afghanistan I was talking about the goat fuckers, boy lovers, and the clan leaders who not loyal to any religious or secular leader unless they got money. Seriously quit watching propaganda.
@J5MARLON Well that is not anarchism either. Anarchism is a the people within a community coming together to directly determine the values and policies etc regarding that community without any interference from any authority figure imposing their will upon them. Those Afghan people were not living in an anarchist society or living like anarchists they were simply responding to intense poverty in a war torn country, fighting for survival. Seriously, quit believing propaganda.
@babebeubaboon You just define Plato form of Democracy, which is mob rule, any form protest group, or Karl Marx view of socialism. Everybody SHOULD be there own leader but in life people want protection and they follow somebody its not a political idealogy its survival. I will says this I met a old Afghan of 60s years old he told me capitalism is human nature everybody wants money, its ''communist'' who are intellectual idiots of society.
@J5MARLON I agree with you. However I dont understand why that order has to be imposed on the greater population by an authority claiming privilidge and superiority over everyone else. Why cant a societys beliefs and customs be determined by the community of people living in that society without any interference by an individual or group of people proclaiming priviledge and superiority over all others? That is what anarchism is in my mind.
@babebeubaboon School yard bullies don't stop being bullies at the school yard. Fear and being stronger and even confidence or maybe intelligence. Thats life.
@J5MARLON Bullies tend to have serious psychological problems caused by problems at home. I would be surprised if there was a single school yard bully truly happy with their life. I believe that chool yard bullys are more of a reflection of a disturbed society than anything else. Life is quite a bit more complex than you describe it.
Always interesting to hear creative people describe how they snap together elements of their experiences and ideas to make a story, but I'm stuck on that chair. It looks like a throne. It's the kind of chair interviews should always be conducted in.
Hey guys, I'm a year 12 research project student. I'm doing my project on Graphic novels and it would be great if you could complete my survey below (only takes 1 minute ) thankyou so much
I think he confuses Anarchism with Libertarianism. Anarchism leads to chaos and "the-guy-with-the-biggest-gun-wins" scenarios. Libertarians seems to be saying smilar things to him. Small government etc.
@tboladave Probably you are talking about some right-winged Anarchism (like "anarcho-capitalism" wich is not even anarchism). Some of this people support use of guns and stuff. But real anarchism is not chaos, it is about order, but voluntary order. I recommend you to read Proudhon works. In real anarchy you have an order with freedom, but without violence, agression and opression. Anarchy doesnt means "no rules", means "No masters"
@asmodevsluxuria Well we experienced anarchy in the capital of our country a few months ago and I can tell you that it was not order. People had their homes burnt down and their business destroyed. If everyone was responsible and sane the yes I can see some sense in this kind of anarchism but in reality it doesn't work.
I thought the movie version of V for Vendetta sucked. It changed a lot of things, like Evey Hammond is a young adult, the ending was different, V died after he encountered a man in the tunnel, Evey was blonde, etc. It's just I read the source material and thought it was an outstanding piece of art. Alan Moore rules, it was great that he took his name off the credits for the movie version.
@ledzeppelinfreak I can understand your dislike of the movie....as you probable read the book before the movie. Few like cover versions of songs/books...but "V the movie" has inspired many people who would have never read the comic book. Many who have read the book say it is the best conversion too film of any comic book super hero. For me, it is such an inspired film that I will seek to read the book.
@Marveljew Look at Americas MIC, exactly what Alan Moore talks about, .01% of the world causing 99% of the worlds problems. It takes only a team of a few dozen engineer,some parts suppliers,and a few years to build the next Big Dog which will probably be weaponized....
Anarchy doesn't exist aside from being an idea... and no government has ever truly represented it's people... hence, why there are never any poor people in the senate or parliament. And anyone who uses the term "Zionist" as a pejorative obviously doesn't understand the words meaning and is basically an Anti-Semite who doesn't have the balls to speak the words they really want to say. Turn the coffee-shop revolutionary rhetoric down a tad... we're all frustrated by our government's.
Anti-zionism doesn't necessarily mean anti-israel. You can't just dismiss anti-zionists because whether you like it or not they do in fact have a very strong case against israel, primarily due to israel's own terrible human rights record. Its hard to refute cold hard facts when they're all coming from the UN and various humanitarian organizations, including the ones that happen to be israeli.
@rencrow You seem confused. Anti-Zionists aren't necessarily Anti-Israeli? You just said they were in the next sentence you wrote. I know that Israel has a nasty track record, and I've actually lived in the region in my younger years, so I'm aware of what's going on, and I don't recall mentioning anyone in particular in my post. But there does seem to be an obvious Anti-Semitic strain through these kinds of posts... people blaming Jews for everything from bad movies to bad governments.
@AhmadElSabeh If Iraq was proof of the theory, then I'd accept it. But I don't. I became a very late supporter of the War on Terror(but I fucking hate that name) because the United Nations wasn't doing it's sworn goddamn duty. Saddamn Hussein was a repeated offender of all 4 conditions by which a ruler may be deposed. Likewise, I supported the invasion of Afghanistan on similar grounds. The Islamic terrorist world got horribly fucked up when our military got involved over there. That's not proof
@DuckFeetProductions Seemingly insurmountable difficulty is not reason enough to give up working towards something better. Anarchistic communities are emerging and growing all around the world. It is happening despite the acts of desperation by the various nation states. Admittedly, the possibility of failure is always looming, but that's the case for every human endeavor.
@GinckMedia I see your point, though you still have to accept the fact that violent gangs try to control people at the moment, without law enforcement then it would be much worse, life would have no value. When failure results in increased oppression and violence then it's not worth attempting what with the high likeliness of failure.
@DuckFeetProductions The risk of violent gangs will never go away. They exist despite the State, and it's worth observing that the most dangerous and destructive violent gangs are that of the various states themselves.
@DuckFeetProductions ( continued ) So you might ask, how would that be dealt with in an anarchistic society? Setting aside the semantics of the word anarchy, what I am actually advocating, and what I believe Alan Moore to be advocating, is a society who's primary values individual autonomy above all else. It would follow that such values would be best served through three fundamental rules:
@DuckFeetProductions ( cont. 2 ) 1. None shall initiate at threat or act of bodily harm against another human being. 2. None shall take or break the tangible property of another human being without direct consent. 3. None shall cross the property boundaries of another human being without direct consent. ( my way of wording the Non-Aggression Principle )
These are the only rules that are defendable via violence, or laws if you will. Individuals and security companies would defend them.
I find it funny that these so-called advocates and activists mostly sit on their asses in front of their computers and bitch about what's wrong with today's society but never get off of said ass and actually do anything about it.
@TheLastSliceOfPie The examples you listed were all written by English authors. The reason why so many different stories portray a future Britain as dystopian is because that's the society the writer lived in.
@TheLastSliceOfPie The examples you listed were all written by English authors. The reason why so many different stories portray a future Britain as dystopian is because that's the society the writer lived in.
Because at that time (late 70s, early and mid 80s) the concept of dystopian futures was relatively new and exciting and had been little explored before.
@rencrow George Orwell, Anthony Burgess did it a long time before the 70's. As did Huxley. The 70's and 80's I'd say weren't particularly great for Dystopian novels. It got a bit tacky, like the running man. The Handmaid's Tale was excellent though.
I think the movie was actually better than the comic. It was more poetic and less "heavy" (but every Moore comic is heavy). I enjoyed both and wouldn't have changed anything to the adaptation.
@randomperson5623 As a film, just a film.... I thought it was still a pain in the ass! A big thing that made the movie worse was how they never really potrayed V as a... Romantic Anarchist! and also that relationship V and Evey had in the movie was really weird. I feel for Alan, I hope noones making anymore shitty adaptations. Even though I loved the watchmen movie, it's the best comic adaptation I've seen. But still, No need to do more.
@randomperson5623 I agree...but I hate when people say this about Watchmen. It was visually faithful,but it missed so many points of the novel it didn't was Watchmen,and people who have not read the novel,usually don't understand the point of the story.
When V tells the priest "Let me introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and tatse" I just realized that's from The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil"
the idea of government is beautiful, if only we had the brightest of our kind to be in the government. I don't remember who said this but the Idea basically is that democracy is when the minority of brightest is ruled by majority of fools. Let everyone do what he/she is good at.(Division of labor) You can't be your own government because then you would be able to break the rules which you set up for yourself.
anarchy wouldn't work for one simple reason: people are weak and stupid(I'm not an exception) Every person needs an advise from a more experienced person, and how do you imagine simple trade without any government- no bosses-wouldn't work. Simple example- scientists- who would pay a scientist if not his boss? Then there would be no progress. Additionally every person has his/her own set of moral principles which would contradict,which would create conflicts- and who will resolve them? The
Kind of ironic that the gunpowder plot was actually to take down the monarchy and put up a catholic dictatorship, while in the comic, V attempts the old plot for anarchy.
@maluse227 Well, at that time, James I was king and he was not very fond of Catholics. The plotters hoped that after the plan was executed, the confusion from the resulting death of the King, his ministers and Parliament would allow an easy Catholic takeover of the country. They essentially wanted a fascist theocracy. Oh well, still V for Vendetta is still one of my favorite comics.
@ishidasouken anarchy is about as practical as communism, and probably even less effective. Yes, it would be the most desirable, but also quite impossible.
You want to know what will make this country better? Stop talking about anarchy, get off your lazy ass and vote for a third party candidate. If you don’t want a republican or democrat in office, don’t vote for them and try to help the few people in this country trying to do some good. To advocated anarchy is to say that the kkk and hitler should be allowed to do whatever they please. You don’t think that, but without laws to be known and enforced who’s going to stop them?
@3onamatch I am a very active non-lazy anarchist, as are most I know. To advocate anarchism does not give hitler/kkk freedom to do as they please - in anarchism, one cannot oppress another. Also, anarchist societies can be very ordered and can have plenty of enforced laws.
@myleftFIST in the end to have/enforce laws is to have a government. and government is not anarchy. if everone is equil, some ones going to ask, and act upon the idea of "well who the fuck are you to tell me..." that person will find a gun
or any form of wepon and BOOM. we have a terrorist/opppresser. im not trying to be an ass hole, but it won't work. Yes, it would be ideal if it could work, but from what i've seen, humanity can't hadle the ideal. i am pro-order and i can't see that in anarchy
@3onamatch you don't know what anarchism is. You thought anarchism has no laws, or that Hitler/KKK would be free to oppress people. Now you show another misconception. Of course anarchist societies would have a police force. Do you really think nobody thought of this? In fact, Anarchist Spain, Zapatista parts of Mexico, early Israeli Kibbutzim were basically anarchist societies and all had armed forces. Learn what anarchism is before talking about it. I will no longer respond to your comments.
@myleftFISTim sorry if i sounded like a bigot, that was not what i meant , but brake down the word and it means "no government" the police are a form of government
therefor not anarchy. im sorry, but in all reality it contradicts the idea itself.
The state--individuals who possess the right to initiate violence and theft over a certain geographical area--is profoundly immoral and cannot stand. It has caused more pain and suffering over the ages than any other entity would be capable of. I'm an anarcho-capitalist myself, but I hope my fellow anarchists and I of all stripes can band together to overthrow the state. After all, in anarchy, I can have my capitalism, socialists can have their socialism, etc.
I love Moore, love his work, but I disagree with him here:
If it's only .00001% of the population that's to blame, for being leaders who lead people astray, then aren't the rest of the population blame-worthy for following those leaders?
Obviously there's an aspect of humanity that WANTS leaders, that WANTS blind allegiance, that WANTS to be told what to do & what to think. Look at modern Americans vis a vis the INSIDE JOB that is 9/11 !
The problem is in ALL of us, not just the .00001%.
Funny thing is that Fascists were/are mostly left wing socialists while the government in V for Vendetta is supposedly right wing. Couldn't agree more with the rest of the it.
@Reckless3057 Some one has been feeding you bullshit if you think fascism is a left wing ideology (Glen Beck springs to mind for example). Fascism is the ideological antithesis of socialism
@legspin Wow an accusation that I watch Glenn Beck! Great Ad Hominem rhetoric! Why i know Fascism is a left-wing ideology is because: Hitler said so, Mussolini said so, as did Lenin (you would think they would know). Hayek, Misses, Rothbard and other economists of the 20th century all qualified it so. You see, only a Marxist would look at National Socialism as right wing. Marxism believed itself to be an international movement and therefore at odds with NATIONAL Socialism.
@Reckless3057 . I never said you watched Glenn Beck but this is the sort of conflated codswallop he spews out all the time, trying to tar those that don't vote republican as being both facist and socialist at the same time. Also National Socialism and Socialism are not the same thing.
@legspin Not the same thing? Even though Mussolini's corporate state was self-described as socialist. Even though Hitler considered himself to be a socialist. Tell me whats the difference between Socialism and National SOCIALISM?
Please avoid simply saying that they are different cause Socialism is a theory of capital arrangement while National Socialism is a political system with some differences in its capital arrangement. that would be superficial.
Modern America is FASCIST. It's only socialism for the rich, which is what Fascism is all about. Mussolini said that a more accurate name for Fascism would be Corporatism, since it is a merger of Corporate & Governmental powers.
America is a fascist police-state that worships wars & soldiers & brutal police-state tactics. We've been trained to fear Muslims so that we won't complain when new wars of conquest take new oil-fields.
@ModernPlague Only a Marxist can look at Fascist economic re-distribution, universal healthcare, food controls, etcetera as being "Socialism for the rich". I find it amusing that as with most statists the average person is an idiot and you and your kind are the enlightened ones. Almost all modern Socialist thought is the democratization of market forces but its roots lay in "professionalizing government" making it more efficient and business like. Socialisms economic rhetoric was the same.
@ModernPlague Under the rhetoric of "coordination resources" Mussolini, Lenin and Hitler controlled market forces through force but their rhetoric was all "coordination" and "co-operation". Like i was saying only a socialist or Marxist would debate whether or not Fascism in socialist or not. and before WWII there was no debate. Police-state? fear Muslims? conquest? laughable. And what country do you know that doesn't have internal contradictions?
@ModernPlague wow, do reasearch faggot, Musolini was the bad guy, and those soliers are what keeps America a free land. And Brutal poice state? what the fuck are you smoking?
@ModernPlague quit crying and look at other countries. America isn't perfect, but its none of these things, YET. It certainly could become those, but it isn't yet.
You are robbed at the point of a gun for what you earned by trading a piece of your body. You are not free to decide what you put in your body, you are not free to decide how and with what you defend your body, you are not free to speak your mind, you are not free to travel as you please.
@Zen5012 How do we set about making the world MORE free? How do we engage in more liberty, when everyone's such a chicken shit coward? How to we tell people that in order to be truly free, first you have to give up that non-existent government safety blanket?
@ModernPlague You know, that sounds like an awfully cute theory. Now the hard part is getting evidence and proof to replace your rhetoric. If you're wrong, accept the evidence and change your mind. If you've got evidence, use it to formulate a factual statement rather than an emotionally charged soundbyte.
But I don't think you've got any evidence, I don't think you've looked at your opponents arguments, and I don't think you really understand what you're talking about.
America has the more freedom than any other country in the world. Just because the government is run by jerks doesn't mean the system is automatically fascit. They are abusing the system. America is the land of freedom not fascism. If you want fascism, look at Nazi Germany during World War II... that is fascit, you over-reacting anarchist goverment-hater.
@legspin Marxist rhetoric at the time, and till this day is that socialism is the appeasement of the worker by the bourgeois. but otherwise, on economics, religion, freedom of speech, capital development, the redistribution of wealth and unitary government consolidation. Marxists and Socialists agree. Does this make Socialism a right wing ideology? No. Are right wingers necessarily Nationalists? not really, if one considers Free-trade a mechanism for international peace then not so much.
Does anyone know how tall Alan is? I just saw a picture of him and Jack Kirby that makes him look 7 feet tall. It was probably just a visual trick for the most part, but I am curious.
Truly a fascinating man...also he's really good at reading out loud, if I had all the money in the world, I would spend it all just to have Mr. Moore read to me every night.
I was curious on here if anyone noticed that the "V" character from V for Vendetta is very similar to a form of Zorro mixed with the Count of Monte Cristo? To continue my comparison Zorro also translates to the word "Fox" in Spanish and the phonetic pronunciation of the word "Fox" sounds a lot like Fawkes as in "Guy Fawkes" or "man fox".

I think he confuses Anarchism with Libertarianism. Anarchism leads to chaos and "the-guy-with-the-biggest-gun-wins" scenarios. Libertarians seems to be saying smilar things to him. Small government etc.

@tboladave Probably you are talking about some right-winged Anarchism (like "anarcho-capitalism" wich is not even anarchism). Some of this people support use of guns and stuff. But real anarchism is not chaos, it is about order, but voluntary order. I recommend you to read Proudhon works. In real anarchy you have an order with freedom, but without violence, agression and opression. Anarchy doesnt means "no rules", means "No masters"

I thought the movie version of V for Vendetta sucked. It changed a lot of things, like Evey Hammond is a young adult, the ending was different, V died after he encountered a man in the tunnel, Evey was blonde, etc. It's just I read the source material and thought it was an outstanding piece of art. Alan Moore rules, it was great that he took his name off the credits for the movie version.

Anarchy doesn't exist aside from being an idea... and no government has ever truly represented it's people... hence, why there are never any poor people in the senate or parliament. And anyone who uses the term "Zionist" as a pejorative obviously doesn't understand the words meaning and is basically an Anti-Semite who doesn't have the balls to speak the words they really want to say. Turn the coffee-shop revolutionary rhetoric down a tad... we're all frustrated by our government's.

Anti-zionism doesn't necessarily mean anti-israel. You can't just dismiss anti-zionists because whether you like it or not they do in fact have a very strong case against israel, primarily due to israel's own terrible human rights record. Its hard to refute cold hard facts when they're all coming from the UN and various humanitarian organizations, including the ones that happen to be israeli.

@DuckFeetProductions Seemingly insurmountable difficulty is not reason enough to give up working towards something better. Anarchistic communities are emerging and growing all around the world. It is happening despite the acts of desperation by the various nation states. Admittedly, the possibility of failure is always looming, but that's the case for every human endeavor.
GinckMedia 1 year ago
@GinckMedia I see your point, though you still have to accept the fact that violent gangs try to control people at the moment, without law enforcement then it would be much worse, life would have no value. When failure results in increased oppression and violence then it's not worth attempting what with the high likeliness of failure.

@DuckFeetProductions The risk of violent gangs will never go away. They exist despite the State, and it's worth observing that the most dangerous and destructive violent gangs are that of the various states themselves.
GinckMedia 1 year ago
@DuckFeetProductions ( continued ) So you might ask, how would that be dealt with in an anarchistic society? Setting aside the semantics of the word anarchy, what I am actually advocating, and what I believe Alan Moore to be advocating, is a society who's primary values individual autonomy above all else. It would follow that such values would be best served through three fundamental rules:
GinckMedia 1 year ago
@DuckFeetProductions ( cont. 2 ) 1. None shall initiate at threat or act of bodily harm against another human being. 2. None shall take or break the tangible property of another human being without direct consent. 3. None shall cross the property boundaries of another human being without direct consent. ( my way of wording the Non-Aggression Principle )
These are the only rules that are defendable via violence, or laws if you will. Individuals and security companies would defend them.

@3onamatch I am a very active non-lazy anarchist, as are most I know. To advocate anarchism does not give hitler/kkk freedom to do as they please - in anarchism, one cannot oppress another. Also, anarchist societies can be very ordered and can have plenty of enforced laws.

@ModernPlague Only a Marxist can look at Fascist economic re-distribution, universal healthcare, food controls, etcetera as being "Socialism for the rich". I find it amusing that as with most statists the average person is an idiot and you and your kind are the enlightened ones. Almost all modern Socialist thought is the democratization of market forces but its roots lay in "professionalizing government" making it more efficient and business like. Socialisms economic rhetoric was the same.

@ModernPlague Under the rhetoric of "coordination resources" Mussolini, Lenin and Hitler controlled market forces through force but their rhetoric was all "coordination" and "co-operation".
