You and I can see it. However, kids, who are going through the liberal (communist) education system will see them and think (those stuck up oppressive republicans) the opposite of what we see.
Until conservative politicians get behind a set of morals and values and quit trying to be moderates, kids we just see it wrong. Look at the last two presidential elections and you will see how society sees conservatism. Not Reagan but Romney and McCain... Today's youth actually sees capitalism as bad. Remember business don't build jobs! Our Socialist masters will provide! |

The only reason these stories are written the way they are is because they were all written in a time where communist Russia was a real threat. If they had been written nowadays, they'd champion "the cause."

When I watched Mockingjay Pt 1 withe wife, I pointed out to her that the dystopia of the Capital (which has a logo oddly resembling the Imperium of Man) isn't fiction but a amalgam of Stalinist totalitarian societies of today and recent memory.

Hunger Games was written in the 60s?

Look at Star Trek... commie diversity as all hell, no need to work for food the computer miracles that shit out of thin air.
No need for money unless you are not suckling the Federation titty. Star Wars.. have said this for years... Space Nazis vs. Space Commies. |

Service means citizenship!
Would you like to know more? 
My wife reads books from Sherrilyn Kenyon called The League series. Kind of ScFi romance.  They are pretty good and has a whole "fuck the tyrants" theme.

Science Fiction often tends to be somewhat subversive and critical of the status quo.

Note that all of them involve standing up to that sort of leadership which eventually fails. Also note that if these were movies about conservative governments, where would the action be? There wouldn't be any story or drama by design.
You guys really look to deeply into these things...

Someone posted an interesting g article here the other day about this. Some libtard was warning other libtards about the incorrect message all these books could be giving to libtards kids. Made me smile inside

In case your wondering almost zero of the kids connect the dots. Even college age girls I talk to don't pick up the message. The current mindset of this generation is that the government knows best and more is better. As someone who read Fahrenheit 451 and Animal Farm in school, Idk how these kids presumably did as well and did not have a mindset shift. This generation is a lost cause. Cept for me ;)
