My friend did a philosophical analysis of World War Z, and some of the underlying metaphors inside.
Zombies by in large represent the unthinking masses, namely public sector workers, baby boomers, etc- stealing from the young and productive. They eat brains/the productive for their own irrational greed, spreading the virus from person to person. They can not be reasoned with, they will just consume anyone productive or alive until they destroy themselves and everyone else.

The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
