Oh, have you not seen the movie Animal Farm? That movie, which I recommended, is very anti-communism.
It's a great movie for kids too, of course, since it involves talking cartoon animals, and it basically teaches the lesson that if you try to give no one power then the strong but nasty people (or animals in the cartoon) push themselves into power through force. Trying too hard to make a perfectly equal society can actually lead to extreme inequality and tyranny.
It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. And I first saw it when I was about 10.
I haven't seen the movie, but we had to read the novel for English class in high school, so I am very familiar.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
