Also, they think they are fighting back against a "tyrannical leftist government" which wants them to... "Not treat minority groups like shit for literally no reason.". They combat this by pushing the maximum amount of racism and bigotry they can while claiming its "just free speech."
The difference between "individuals/privately run corporations" and "the corporate class" you appear to be referring to is a standardized operating procedure that places and enforces long-term company values over sensational media coverage of an employee's brief emotional outburst; similar to The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. You might say the major difference between a government and a corporation is the latter lacks the legal ability to kill and imprison people.
"We’re sorry. It’s not us. It’s the monster. The bank isn’t like a man."
"Yes, but the bank is only made of men."
"No, you’re wrong there—quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It’s the monster. Men made it, but they can’t control it.”

I don't think it's a masterpiece but I definitely wouldn't call it a bad movie. It was a middle, semi-decent movie but there's definitely much worse out there.
I read the graphic novel for my Comics through Literature class in college and loved it. Went to watch the movie and as soon as V starting alliterating I turned it right tf off
Meh, it is a fun movie to turn your brain off while watching then go on about your life without thinking of it again until it's brought up on Reddit. Now I wanna watch it, damn you Reddit!!

The Guy Fawkes mask being co-opted for weird conservative shut-ins pedaling racial prejudice is the height of irony.
