I’d love to say that V isn’t much of an anarchist because anarchists are supposed to act in solidarity with the people they are hoping to liberate (which includes themselves) and not unilaterally in the way that V does… but then I remember Alexander Berkman assassinating capitalist Henry Clay Frick without bothering to properly understand the position of the strikers Frick was repressing.

I’d say that the “super” genre is utterly incompatible with anarchist thought… the “super” genre is, after all, based on individualist power fantasy - something quite useless to someone viewing power relations through an anarchist lens.

So, there’s that… and I lost all sympathy for V when he shoved Evey in a cell. That’s some straight-up abusive shit right there.
