      Exactly, Verhoeven completely misunderstood the source material. He even misunderstands the world of his own movie. A lack of universal suffrage does not equal fascism. Granted it's a militaristic society, but it functions the same as a Roman Republicanism, not remotely fascist.

        Ahahahaa. From what I understand he didn't even read the book all the way through. Just skimmed it, said "This is fascist trash" and threw it aside. Which means he was smarter than I am, I loved that book when I was a kid. : )
