there's a reason brain dead, liberal themed movies bomb in the box office over and over.

Matt Damon movies alone have been on a bomb streak (many of which have overtly liberal/communists themes).
he hasnt had a successful movie since the bourne ultimatum which was released in like 2007

You're representing with your flag,one of the biggest communist/socialist entities and it seems that you love it.

Well, there's grain of truth in your words :D American patriots, know them very well, practically lika a family to me, are indeed people with contradicting points in their thought patterns sometimes. Free health insurance? You're commie. Free education? You're filthy commie. At the same time the very same person could use Medicaid, Medicare and food stamps, like half of Americans do. Nobody hates social state more than they are.

Truth be said though, social welfare has been overbudgeted in past few decades in many countries outside of the US (or should I say used to...?). It actually in some way answers why the "Elysium" is what it is. Social solidarity is perceived by Hollywood and various other kinds of "intellectual bomonde" only in the form of social welfare programmes aka philanthropy, not a different social structure or social revolution. They think that resources are limitless "and no one will go away unsatisfied", it's only some evil system or machine that is exploiting people and won't let them be happy.
