Wait until you get to the fourth season, literal nazi power fantasy/apologia.
UwU the nazis just wanted to make the Earth Kingdom Great Again and helped a lot of people, they just got a bit power crazy derailed, but it's okay cuz we gonna redeem Earth Hitler later on UwU
Kuvira is obviously a KMT stand in. she's a progressive force, regardless of Radio Free Earth Kingdom has to say. Ultimate proof is that the resolve the series by balkanizing the Earth Kingdom into it's province republics so they can never again present unified resistance against military or financial imperialism.

I disagree. I think Kuvira is much more a analogous to "strong man" third world anti-imperialist leaders like Nasser or Gaddafi.
In the context of being a underdeveloped, overexploited country like the Earth Kingdom, "make it great again" is different than in highly developed imperialist country. Kuvira is a modernizing force violently restructuring feudal relations and changing a kingdom into a nation-state while also militarily repossessing Earth Kingdom lands from colonizers and imperialists.
If the Fire Nation were talking about "making the nation great again" that would be just fascism.
Honestly given that Kuvira were given nazi imagery such as the superweapons and having concentration camps (that were never shown even though theres a goddamn murder suicide scene) wouldnt suprise me if they think Gadaffi is literally Libyan hitler.
Even with her giant robot, I think that's treated kinda like the WMDs the west is in constant fear of third world countries developing.
That said, you're right. The folks who ran the show probably don't see a difference. They're likely the type of libs who unironically used terms like "islamo-fascist" to describe Assad or Saddam.
You are right, BUT I can't dismiss the robots' nazi helmets that simply
Sure, the lib writers could just be saying "liberation nationalists are as bad as nazis"; but one can also read "nazis were liberation nationalist smol beans but they got meanie greedy revengful derailed"

Liberalism and nazism, one big heart.

Thesis: Kuvira is a nazi
Antithesis: Kuvira is fighting for national liberation
Synthesis: The writers are such scratched libs that these are both true.
Huh, yer right
Kuvira as Chiang makes sense. I believe it was mentioned she was even putting down warlords to reunite the fractured Earth Kingdom.
The comic book is worse.

Again, I'm now completely convinced of what @TheLepidopterists said.
Plus I don't know shit about the KMT
