A parable and a warning for our time?  | | I'd like to reopen some old discussions on this excellent film. Although the comic was written about Thatcherite Britain, the film feels strangely prophetic in a 1984 way. Any thoughts?

One can hope that it doesn't turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy, but rather that it works as a warning for us to take heed in order to prevent it from coming true.

Right now the society that is in the film is no where near happening and i don't see any extreme parties gaining any majority any time too soon.
