      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.

          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.

            I think he just liked playing around with political ideas. His books don’t have much of an ideological through-line (is “women are hot” an ideology?).
