Isn't it ironic that Hollywood always portrays evil and oppression in the future as Big Government yet we are heading right down that path? Government control and the loss of freedoms that come with it. Yet there are people daily who deny this again and again. And now I am waiting for some liberal puke to ask, "what freedoms have you lost"?

This is why it makes no sense to differentiate between Castro and Hitler. They are both leftist dictators, regardless of xenophobic tendencies or using religion (or lack thereof) as a means of control.

I don't recall a kidnapping threat, but yes to parliament being blown up. I would imagine that'd happen here (eventually) if government got as oppressive as it did in the movie.
