First of all the word you're looking for is authoritarianism. Fascism means merging the best(or worst depending on who you're talking to) of both the left and the right to create something that isn't entire like either. To quote Mussolini "We are free from both the backwardness of the right and the self-destructiveness of the left."
Second of all, liberals always become authoritarian when they get into power. The revolutionaries in France were supposedly in favor of free speech, equal rights, and the will of the people when they overthrew the king, yet they killed tens of thousands of people who they deemed to be "reactionaries". Likewise, the Soviets claimed to be against any kind of censorship when they were the ones getting censored, yet when they got into power they censored and persecuted their dissenters more than the Tsar could have ever dreamed of.
Liberal =\= libertarian

Pretty much.

I always thought the conflict driving the movie didn't work since it revolved around an amazing sci-fi device with no stated limitations and the white people running the space station and the magic healing devices were just racists assholes for the sake of it. But none of the people who are denied access to the magic healing terminals are likeable or have redeeming traits so they kept shoving that mother with the Leukemia kid in everyone's face for forced sympathy. And everytime some group of spics invade the station they always break into the exact same house for the healing terminal and get surprised when they're quickly apprehended. Then when they brought the magic healing device down to Earth the movie makes it look like it would somehow solve all of Earth's problems when the problem was overpopulation, not spics unable to have access to the Obamacare bed.
tl;dr: Social commentary and politics aside, the movie was fucking dumb and the plot made no sense

After the movie, Elysium (the station) is pretty much fucked. As everyone is now a citizen, there'll be a mad rush over there. And since the droids can't arrest citizens for some reason, there's is nothing or no one around to keep order. Sooner or later, the station will either be destroyed or made uninhabitable.
On Earth, things will improve at least for a while. But the medical supplies won't last forever, given the massive need for them. Eventually things are as bad as they were before, but now there's no hope of better place.

The end was odd anyway if you start thinking about it. For such a vital piece of hardware, you'd think there are contingencies. Like, just pull the plug and revert the database to the last backup.

Yes they will, the healing stations run on magic and have no known limitations. Blomkamp tried to make a social statement…using magic as the metaphor for healthcare and used the most unlikable group of people I have seen in a movie and forced the audience to be sympathetic to them and not the people barely keeping the peace

I thought the whole thing was just strongly rich versus poor. Didn't even care about the races presented, it was honestly a bland movie using cinematic effects to hide how meh the choreography was. It's watchable but it isn't Bladerunner in the slightest.
