Jus like the film V for Vendetta, people think it was the pacifism that won but it really was V’s actions.
Pacifism? Ha! He killed the entire ruling inner circle, and then blew up Parliament. Without orders from higher up, the sojers were not going to start strafing their neighbors for showing up with a mask on. Wish he hadn’t added the crowd scene to the story. Read the comic. Saw the movie eventually. I like Alan Moore, but his political correctness gets in the way and on my nerves.
