Anyone remember seeing the film Robocop (1987)? Just think of this when you see it, Robocop was just a product of the military industrial complex mentioned in the film. OCP, throughout its depictions in the RoboCop films, has sought to fully privatize a dystopian Detroit, Michigan, into Delta City, a manufactured municipality governed by a corporatocracy, with fully privatized services — such as police — and with residents exercising their representative citizenship through the purchase of shares of OCP stock. They also serve as part of the military–industrial complex; according to OCP executive Richard Dick Jones, We practically are the military. Jones observes in RoboCop that OCP has gambled in markets traditionally regarded as non-profit: hospitals, prisons, space exploration. I say good business is where you find it. Does that sound familiar with how things are today? Maybe that film had some truth in it? Much like the film They Live near the end? I did like Robocop because he wasnt corrupt like most police officers today, many of them have ignored their oath of serving the public trust, protecting the innocent, and upholding the law.
