The Values of Annoyance
First the Tea Parties and now this. The clowns of leftland aren't going to be happy if this trailer is any indication of what this movie is about. Someone is always interfering with the "path to revolution" with emotional expressions that value freedom. It's rare to see something like this on a screen. The only truly effective anti-communist movie in decades (that wasn't it's intention, it was just conveying a true story) was "The Killing Fields."
It's not that all leftists are devout fans of Mao or communist dictators...it's just that it's fairly typical that they cut such authoritarian regimes plenty of slack. When criticism is made of the pathetic track record of Marx's many clones, the left goes into their default position and turns the conversation around into how terrible America and capitalism are.
Idiots..."useful" (to the socialist cause) or otherwise.
