yea because liberal hippies are known for their management of large corporations and getting hired to build vast infrastructure jobs on a planetary scale.

Pretty wrong I think, more like this if anything:
Terran Republic: Imperialistic Democratic Republic(Remind you of anyone?)
New Conglomerate: Ultra-Capitalist Libertarians
Vanu Sovereignty: Scientologists with more emphasis on science

TR- Enforced martial law to keep order. They have enforced strict curfews and have infringed on the rights of the people for the good of the whole. They probably see this is a military operation and should be run as such. Stargate Universe style?
NC- Upset about the enforcement of martial law. They want to receive wages for their work and want what they believe to be their basic human rights. They think that the TR are being to harsh and restrictive. American Colonist?
VS- Strive for the future of their people. They have received a telepathic communication from the alien leader Vanu. They wish only to protect the knowledge and fight for what they believe is the good of humanity. They believe Vanu will help the human race evolve and reach their full potential. They fight against the others because the view them as destructive. Communist?

jesus did ya even read any of the books?
you really can't be a fan of Dune if you even mention that abortion of a movie that you got the pic from, the british did a much better job with the adaption they made for TV over there,it was a miniseries and stayed true to the first two books.
the TR is the Empire(House Corrino),thats easy enough,
the NC are House Atreides
the VS are the Guild with a healthy mix of House Vernius(IX)
and its Muad'Dib.
the best character in all the books is Miles Teg and ChapterHouse is the best book of the series

Yeah I preferred the TV miniseries as well, but that was the quickest recognizable Fremen picture I could find. As for any inaccuracy of analogy, that was just me trying to shoe horn the VS into the Fremen, because fuck the police.

I was going to bring all the Dune comparison last week but didn't think it really applied.
I have been reading and rereading the Dune series since approx 1984 and have probably read the whole series atleast 15 times since.
Frank Herbert was a genius
