One of the reasons why I dislike the movie a lot is because it removes any ambiguity on the characters and their beliefs. It puts the cartoonish views when Moore removed them.

A revolution will happen.

I read V for Vendetta a few years ago; living in Middlesbrough for a year. Once this van drove by the university library.The van had a huge camera-dome on it's roof and "keeping a safe eye out for you" written on it's side...

capitalism and communism are just systems. The people who control them can still be tyrants. Hitler was elected in a capitalist economy and Lenin in Communist. If capitalism or communism is to be for the people, the people need to have control of their own govt. Sadly this is not the case today,i fear for the worst.

Its not about nations. Its about powerful individuals who see power and only power not borders. They use national pride and the study of human nature against you/us the people (working class 99.9%). Russia,China, and USA all have theyre own oligarchs that control everything. Im american but i admit we are a powerless nation with no control over our govt.

I'm wondering if Alan actually knew anything about Guy Fawkes, because if he did, he probably would of thought twice about modeling V after him.

we fail to ensure the process of impeachment as soon as a government of any kind is established. "government by the people" and "government for the people" are oxymorons. the master-slave dichotomy is crystal clear. government is inherently an entity separate of the citizenry regardless of whether officials are selected from among the citizen ranks.

america isnt a capitalist nation, its corporatist/cronyist. capitalism implies separation of economy and state, absence of marketplace coercion, and freedom from artificial government manipulation such as fraudulent currency, counterfeiting, fabricated inflation, and corporations...the gap between the haves and have nots is perpetuated by economic ignorance

..Whats so great about Capitalism? Well put it this way young man, you wouldn't be sat there enjoying your computer, enjoying your starbucks coffee and relaxing in dad's bedroom without it. Btw I'm not American, I'm English. China/Russia are indeed a powerful countries but if you think they are open and fair societies then MAN are you living in a dream world. In Moscow/Shanghai they drink wine & drive Mercedes, in Yekaterinburg/Qinghai they drink puddle water.

typical american hating on russia, china is the most powerful country in the world and has a work ethic america will never achieve, who gives a fuck about laos?!, and north koreas is a despotism. also i noticed you didnt mention Cuba although years of propaganda telling you cubans are monster because they choose not to be capitalist you probably wouldnt have anything positive to say anyway. whats so morally great about any capitalist country?
