I've been trying to get into the Hellsing manga, and I've come across something that was pretty disturbing. It was from one of the additional Crossfire stories featuring characters from Iscariot. Now, obviously when there's a series that revolves around an assassin who works for a monarchist government agency that protects "Queen, country, and the Protestant church", anyone can percieve it as capitalist propaganda, I mean that's why I thought of it first. But in the story, one of the "heroes" kills a communist revolutionary, and tells her to "proclaim communism in hell."
To clarify, these were not the main characters of the actual storyline, and work for the Vatican, the arch-rivals of the Hellsing organization. But, is the series itself as blantantly right-wing as one line of dialogue suggests?
I ask this because many times a scenario similar to this is used in fiction, but used in a sort of tongue-in-cheek sarcasm. That's what I was getting out of it at first, but that really through me off.
So, what do you think?
