Anyway, does anyone have any recommendations for similar movies about similar subject matters?

Children of Men seems to have some parallels.

It's one of my favorite documentaries.

I remember seeing it recently and everything was blamed on the “Conservative party”.

It's originally written based on the concept of Margaret Thatcher's conservatism vs pure anarchism. Liberalism isn't really a point in the graphic novel at all (unless you're making the stretch that Liberalism = Anarchism, but that conceit would basically equate to Conservatism = Fascism, both of what are patently absurd). The idea isn't "government should provide for all" but rather "government shouldn't exist at all." The word "
conservative" isn't in the movie script at all:
Script for V for Vendetta

So basically, you saw a Fascist government who targeted people who were different (pretty much a staple of any fascist regime) and thought, "Damn, they're targeting conservatives!"

I don't know if that equates to you having a victim complex, you seeing fascists and immediately thinking "those look like Republicans to me", or if you just REALLY need to find something in everything you watch to piss you off.

But basically:

The graphic novel was written by Alan Moore who hated the government for not removing nuclear weapons from British soil, so he wrote a novel for the "all government sucks" idea of anarchism. The movie, made in 2005, was during the era of the Patriot Act but is still pretty faithful o the original concept of "government = bad". The basic idea is that a government given too much power, any kind of government, and it's a bad thing - most governments do this by instilling fear in their populace, fear of the "different" or the "not normal". The whole "fear leads to anger" is in force.

while you are correct that the word is never spoken in the movie, it does show up on the screen as being the party of those in power
