Oh, of course it's not a perfect metaphor, and it's not supposed to be. But the argument the poster was making could certainly lead to that comparison.
While of course, Magneto is not a Bin Laden (anymore, at least), would most people join a country that is a post-scarcity society with immortality, cure for all disease, free transportation to any part of the world in minutes, etc?
Mind you, like I said, in the real world not only monsters like Apocalypse or Sinister, but even people like Wolverine and some of the X-men would be in jail for life or awaiting execution .
