From this thread over on /r/leftypiece where I've been arguing with vaushites who are currently trying to push people against this.

    yeah i get why it happens, but it makes me like it a lot less than i otherwise would (though i still like it a lot!)

    also if you want an openly leftist anime that has zero allegory, watch dallos. it was the first ova, it's directed by mamoru oshii (of ghost in the shell and patlabor fame) and it's just straight up doing the battle of algiers but in space. it rules, the ending is incredible
