Question The Wall Movie Question

I know there has to be a question somewhere on this website about this, but i searched for an hour trying to find a forum that covers it. Thats why im starting this one, if theres one in existence, send me the link please....
Anyways, i just dont get in "The Wall" movie how he comes out at the concert instead of pink and tells the coon, the queer, and the one smoking the joint to be sent up against the wall.
What are they trying to say, rather, what is roger waters trying to say. Along with the whole marching hammers to, why a sudden switch to fascism?

Trust me, there's more than a few threads about this, but since you searched first, I'm sure the others will go easy on you.

To answer your question, it's all satire.

Well, even though it's been answered a million times already, here it is again - Rog just had the balls to honestly compare his inner demons to a Fascist dictator's inner demons. There you have it

But I have an even more crazy question about those scenes in The Wall - Did anyone else here note that he's driving through Los Angeles and then all of a sudden he's in England?

Actually, Roger was trying to get us all to line up behind his fascist leadership and get into some serious ethnic cleansing. His secret admiration for Hitler is what actually broke up the band.

admiration for how much power that guy had, not for the things he did...Rog never had a love for killin jews and stuff, all in all, the jew, the coon, the stoner, spotty dotty man were all just bricks in another wall if u will; just rog trying to get the personalty of pink through

He was galling them into following him, and it works. That's why the teenage fans watching In the Flesh? (part one) in the film are replaced by the skinheads for In the Flesh (part two).

I just dont understand why he would do that. Maybe im making it more complex than it should be.

Also, even though this isn't on subject. I fully understand the album animals, as i have read in detail animal farm. But, why is the title "pigs ON THE WING" what does the on the wing mean?

I read that book, I didn't really like it. Pigs took control and all, and it was about commies or something.

Its about the russian revolution, every single charachter represents someone important in the russian revolution, and plays a similar role, ask a question about a carachter and i will relate it for ya.
