The weakness of fascism

Constantin 2021-10-20 17:32:17

The social system described in the film is a totalitarian fascist state.
Advocate the role of people to the country, while ignoring the role of the country to people.
People give their lives to the country, and the country only gives people the title and glory of nothingness.

In the film, we see that the power of this state system is extremely powerful.
In fact, this is also true when people work together to contribute to the country.
It is invincible and invincible.

However, such a powerful force is not used by the country.
Because it is people who control the country, even if it is a parliamentary system or a representative system.
Such powerful power, coupled with people's own desires, will eventually lead to disaster.
Absolute power makes people absolutely corrupt.

When people abuse this power in the name of the state, it becomes fascism.
The enemy of humans in the film is fortunately bugs, but if there are no enemies.
Then there will definitely be Jewish divisions, with concentration camps, humans will become their own enemies.

  • Carl: We thought there might be a Brain Bug on 'P'.

    Carmen: You knew and still you sent them?

    Carl: We couldn't afford to launch an operation if there wasn't one.

    [both Carmen and Johnny look at Carl with contempt]

    Carl: You disapprove? Well, too bad! We're in this war for the species, boys and girls. It's simple numbers. They have more. And every day I have to make decisions that send hundreds of people like you to their deaths.

    Johnny Rico: Didn't they tell you, Colonel? That's what the Mobile Infantry is good for.
