In which we learn that communism is bad, capitalism is good, religion is bad (apart from faith in Richard/Jesus/Mary Sue), hell is a disgusting concept (well, OK, that's reasonable enough), the Catholic church is really, really bad, as is art depicting hell, and the welfare state (indeed, all taxation) is a crushing burden on normal, honest, hard-working people. Hope is eventually given by a giant statue of Richard and his girlfriend. This hope then crushes the evil welfare state and the remorseless bureaucracy that runs it. Oh yes, and it begins with Richard having an extended hissy fit because some people have refused to vote for him. The stated moral of the story? People should think for themselves, and do what Richard tells them to do. Oh dear. Where do I start?
