Based on what? Some European's idea of slavery? Give me a break. You're an idiot for not even thinking through your answer and spouting out typical FOX news talking point bull****, which of course, is always easier than actually thinking for yourself.
shareIs, "typical FOX news blah-blah-blah" the only thing the establishment can say in response to criticism?
How the hell did these weak minds take over Western Civilization?
Exactly. The movie happens to be set in America, but liberals are in Europe too and Lars could just have easy have set it there. I guess he set it in America because he likes to troll morons who utterly miss the point of his films and instead get upset that he's criticizing their country.

Actually it seems you’ve missed Lars’ point. Yes these films are set in America but they criticise naive idealists from all nations. Manderlay especially criticises Grace’s naive Liberal attitude, and her cynical right wing Dad is proven right once again.
And yet there’s also criticism of the NeoCon overthrow of Sadam and the complete failure to implement a workable system in his absence, leading to chaos.
Von Trier is too sophisticated for simplistic Left/Right interpretations.
