political subtexts aside, I always thought Blake's fanatacism was a way to get rid of him i.e. - if he's not a total hero the audience wont mind Avon taking over. Now you mention it though although being born in 1978 I didn't see it originally, having grown up in the 80's in mainlland UK, I can see where this is coming from. I remember the Trek episode being banned and also know that the main train stations around the country also dont have bins. In a society where 'unattended bags will be removed', I can see there being a similarity. The only thing is though as the Federation is a fascist regime where murder, false accusations etc etc are common place, would a Blakeist regime mean that even the terrorism committed by him pales in comparison to the atrosities of the federation?
