Why do so many people idolize V for vendetta's anarchy? It is not democratic to blow up buildings

95. That is easy to answer.

However you need to go back in history to for a better picture.

The base for that movie is the plot to blow up King James I of England during the opening of Parliament back on November 5, 1605 . It was a time that being Catholic was... not healthy.

Now we take a look at the movie story line.. It is a time where all the simple rights, right many of us are still fighting for, are so illegal that it meant imprisonment. There is a scene where Evey is reading a letter from a woman that is imprisoned for being lesbian. The scene is on YouTube. I placed it here for it to give you an idea of what a lot of it is about. They clean what they think is bad, not just this, but many rights we take for granted is not in this post world epidemic portrayal.

Now let's bring this into the real world ( or in the case of Guy Fox, up to our time). Many are seeing that many little rights are being pushed aside. Just little ones that our forefathers took for granted, like the pursuit of happiness. They also see people being pushed down and are being used due to it. They have been trying to say something, but the ones that are making a profit with this happening have been doing their best to use different ways to get them to shut up.

That is where bringing up history and stories like this are useful. It is not so much as to idolize as to keep it in the thoughts of those that want to revisit the past. That past being the one where workhouses and little pay to get ahead was offered.

As for your use of Osama Bin Laden, well that is different. He was after people to fear HIM. Showing his power to control the masses. Much like the bad guy in "V" does. Guy Fox and company wanted the killing of priest to stop. The persecution of Catholics to stop. OBL didn't want that. The Taliban does not want to stop persecution, but to do persecution.
