I, Robot and the Soviet Union
I, Robot, a great movie and a huge success for Will Smith, has a theme of why communism will never work.
 I, Robot showed that people were not happy when their lives were controlled. That is what VIKI wanted; that is what happens under communism. When everyone's lives became controlled, they revolted. Our free will does not allow communism to work. That is why the USSR failed. That is why all nations that follow in their footsteps will fail. I, Robot was not only an awesome movie, but a triumph for capitalism.
Here is some proof from the movie to back up what I have said (aka: "References" section of some sort)
1) VIKI wanted to protect all humans from harm by forcing them to do as she commanded. She thought she knew better than all people on how to run everyone's lives. The communist party took over Russia thinking that they could orchestrate everyone's lives better than the people could themselves, and by doing so, create pure equality.
2) VIKI wanted to put an end to war by controlling all nations and thus protecting humans from harm in battle. The God given sprit of free will that each human possesses prevents us from being happy when every aspect of our lives is controlled, even if that control prevents us from engaging in war. The goal of communism appeared to be to take over the world, as the USSR extended its influence over Asia. Because of the USSR's influence, many Asian nations, most notably China, Vietnam, and part of Korea, became communist. VIKI and the USSR had the same goal.
3) The corporation that VIKI was a part of was called USR. Its similarity in acronym to the USSR is obvious.
