Anarchist: I enjoyed it…
I enjoyed it too. Too bad it’s written from the position that coercive government is just fine and dandy until it picks on gays.
It’s not. Have you read the book?
V is explicitly an anarchist and rejects coercive government as such. He cites the crimes of Norsefire (which involve an awful lot more than sending gay people to concentration camps, although I should say that sending gay people to concentration camps really is quite a good reason to resist a government) only as the most brutal end-result of statism.
“It was you. You who appointed these people. You who gave them the power to make your decisions for you.”
I assumed the crime here was voting, and/or giving political support.
Not quite. The sin that V is talking about is submission: specifically, deference to claims of political authority over your life and the lives of your neighbors. Voting or concrete political support may be an expression of deference to claims of authority, or they may not, depending on the breaks.
Anticopyright.
