"V" and the original Guy Fawkes in 1605 were not freedom fighters, they were terrorists. Nobody likes their government but that doesn't give you the right to kill people in protest. All lives matter, even those of people you disagree with.
I find it laughable that young people go around wearing Guy Fawkes masks, when he was nothing but a religious fundamentalist. He was just a Catholic version of Osama Bin Laden read some actual history instead of getting it from crappy movies. -

V was fighting against a fascist state, a country where no one has any freedoms, not political, cultural or religious, when your leaders treat you like that you have the right to rise up and destroy them, though usually what replaces them is not much better.
It is a pity that Germany in the 1930's did not have a "V" of it's own, likewise Russia in just about any part of it's history.
Remember, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

People must absolutely fight against oppression. The governments of fascist dictatorships do not deserve respect or obedience. Think of North Korea or Nazi Germany. Would you condemn violent resistance by the people in those states?

It glorifies revolution, free thought and the idea that government should work for and with the people.
Strangely enough the use of the Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot in the film creates a bit of a contradiction since the Gunpowder Plot was meant to remove the repressive Protestant aristocracy and replace it with another repressive institution, the Catholic Church.
I guess it was used for the whole "fighting for what you believe is right" idea.
