iirc, it was supposed to be a hatchet job, an ott pisstake of the book. Except it backfired because everyone loved it, they realised the truth in it, and its still being memed hard 25 years later.

Heinlein wrote an idealized libertarian/liberal society. Where you can do anything as long as you're responsible for it.

Verhoven read it and said "wow, that's so fascistic" and tailored the movie as such.

Verhoeven admits that he never even finished the book because he found it "depressing."
