                No, they're antifascist guerilla coded because they're antifascist guerillas named for a historical group of antifascist guerillas. Starfleet trying to stop them is one of its more liberal moves.

                  I had an account with maquis in the name and I caught nothing but shit about it for years for it being reactionary and libertarian coded, including from people on this website.

                    The first time we meet the people who would go on to become the Maquis they were a Native American tribe who had been displaced again and again for hundreds of years and had finally found a new planet to call home, then Starfleet rolled up and told them their new home had been ceded to the space fascists in a treaty they had no voice in and they had to be displaced again. They refused to be moved and so Starfleet left them and their planet to the space fascists.
