Yea, there's a reason it's a cult classic. Everyone thought it was support of fascism and glorifying violence when it was released
It's a great example of media literacy, and specifically - thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.
The first reading is, holy shit, is Doogie Horrible wearing an SS uniform? This is fascist propaganda.
The second reading is, ah, everything goes terribly and nobody learns anything. This is an anti-fascist satire.
The third reading is... how are you different from these characters? What do you know, that they don't, that would stop you from wanting to know more? This is a movie about how fascism happens.
