Superheroes as fascistic archetypes : CuratedTumblr

Not to be a nerd but Rorschach is based off two of Ditko's characters, the more famous Question and Mr. A, both Objectivist characters created by Steve Ditko. Trying to connect Randian philosophy/politics to fascistic politics seems to be their trying to put two things you don't like into the same group. Randian philosophy/politics desires for as minimal state involvement in society and for people to be as objective and rational as they can. Fascism desires for a highly centralized state governing society with high state involvement. Quite funny to see them saying that Watchmen is about "superheroes are FASCIST" when Richard Nixon has been president in the Watchmen world for at least four terms in-universe and the state using superheroes to further their goals, e.g. Dr. Manhattan ending the Vietnam War in only one month. The state is much more authoritarian than the superheroes.
