While I hadn't seen this film yet - in part because of my ignorance - and in part because of internet censorship, it's worth a watch. It really does have all the marks of fascism, something out of the propaganda film in the The Parallax View. I actually hope it's preserved for history and discussed in social studies classes in the context of how democracy prevailed over fascism.
Fascism is a patriarchal cult of the leader, who promises national restoration in the face of supposed humiliation by a treacherous and power-hungry global elite, who have encouraged minorities to destabilize the social order as part of their plan to dominate the “true nation,” and fold them into a global world government. The fascist leader is the father of his nation, in a very real sense like the father in a traditional patriarchal family. He mobilizes the masses by reminding them of what they supposedly have lost, and who it is that is responsible for that loss – the figures who control democracy itself, the elite; Nazi ideology is a species of fascism in which this global elite are Jews.
