On top of the redirect issues, it's not appropriate at all to be declaring "It's this way because it is profitable for the ruling class to keep it this way." That really seems to be bordering on conspiracy theory "The evil rich people invented the cure for cancer but are just hiding it."

Plus, that frankly seems to be giving way too much credit to the film. If the economic point you're making relies on the existence of a magical "Give me everything I want for free" machine (which Elysium has - a medical machine that can instantly treat or repair any medical problem, apparently for free), I think that should be indicative that your point is not a very strong one and you've created a strawman.

While you're at it, you might cut out the link on the Narm entry since it's broken.

They’re edit warring regardless, which is a no-no.

I have no objections to these being cut. It seems like the correct decision. I’d link to this ATT thread if you do so. I guess they could be brought here to explain themselves if it seems appropriate, but I think you’re in the right on this.
