Most of MGS politics make sense if you consider it from the perspective of an anarchist who has never read theory
MGS 1 and 3 are just spy flicks with some interesting subversions, 2 is pretty good, albeit on a meta level, not the actual story (that's just 1 again), 4 is just a big fuck you to the fans.
Peace Walker and V are honestly pretty well written to show the downfall of Big Boss from loveable MGS3 goofy spy man to villain and the fact that basically the entire internet says they don't see it is what makes it good. By V, it's not even subtle about it with the literal Big Boss is watching you poster on your rogue nuclear military junta platform made up out of brainwashed conscripts and still everybody is like "well how's he the bad guy" because he destroys a metal gear again and is likeable. I genuinely think that's the point, you see it from his or is cult follower perspective. If you were to look at the entire scenario from a distance it becomes pretty clear the guy trying to fuel a forever war for his private army ain't exactly what anybody considers good, even if he does rescue a puppy.
