This film is the "Metropolis" film of the silent era. The "arranged peace" ending of that film is flawed in that there will be no peace or prosperity for the masses with our present course. Like the Borg wealthy economic interests mean to show everyone that "resistance is futile".
The tactics to crush this nation by the RW are already under way in the form of ALEC and other organizations. The GOP sees 2014 and 2016 as the time when they have total power and can permanently establish their draconian totalitarian political agenda. The racist and classicism we see today is no different than any other cruel takeover.

Not everybody is possessed with your breadth of knowledge and intellectual ability to pull together disparate concepts and examples, so, please share.
