    The author that wrote the book is genuinely a fascist and was pissed at the tone of the movie.

    edit: I was way off on this the author died before the movie came out

    Robert A. Heinlein died 9 years before the movie released. He was many things, but fascist he was not.

    It's very telling about the state of the internet that I'm genuinely happy about someone being honest about having been proven wrong.

    I love it and aspire to be like that when that happens too.

    Reading several of his books, he believes in the everyday capable man of doing things and has a libertarian bent to him. That's from reading a lot of his work and finding similarities in it. I wouldn't say he was fascist but at that time he was probably vogue for the politics at the time.
