Daybreakers: A Metaphor for Progressive Socialism?

Yesterday I went to see the movie Daybreakers, a science fiction/horro movie where the Earth is mostly inhabited by vampires. The premise is simble – Vampires need human blood to survive but there are so many vampires sucking on so few humans that most blood supplies are running low. As vampires become blood deprived they begin to revert from attractive immortals to deformed mindless sud-siders (Imagine the demons in a Hieronymus Bosch painting of Hell).

While the movie was full of the standard Hollywood swipes at corporations and the military, the basic premise asks the questions, what happens when the bloodsuckers far outnumber the blood producers?
This is a perfect metaphor for socialism…at least the kind of socialism that we have in California. Here are some paralles between Daybreakers (the movie) and California (the people’s republic).
In the movie the “leaders” were under pressure to deliver ever increasing amounts of blood from a shrinking population of blood producers. In California, the state assembly and sentate are under pressure to extract ever more “revenue” from what is a shrinking population of productive citizens.
In Daybreakers, disaster looms when the supply runs out the entire population will turn into demonic sub-siders…. and the world will fall into chaos. In California, disaster looms when the state can no longer pay its bills and must release it’s demonic prison population…and the state will fall into chaos.
In Daybreakers, a small number of humans have avoided the factory farm and are on the run from the vampires. In California, while the overall population has increased, the population of productive taxpaying individuals is shrinking as the most productive of the private sector types flee the state.
I sincerely doubt the writers and director of Daybreakers meant to criticize socialism….but maybe the did. Maybe in Hollywood the only way to actually make a movie about the horrors of socialism is to make a vampire movie.
