It basically looks to be a reiteration of the modern gripes that much of the left have of the current administration, but magnified about 1,000 times that of reality.

You do know that V for Vendetta is a book by Alan Moore, right? It is basically a lot like 1984. Germany wins Word War II and the book is set in England which is now ruled by a totalitarian government.
