See I went back and played it recently and I think its politics are worse than I remember. It gets all this credit for being anti-Libertarian, but there's a lot of the nihilistic "both sides" stuff that made Bioshock Infinite kinda shitty. It portrays both the capitalist elite led by Ryan and the worker rebellion led by Fontaine as two sides of the same coin, competing interests that are led into conflict by tyrants seeking to put themselves in power. There's this misanthropic attitude in Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite that any and every cause is necessarily corrupted by the flaws of people and you have to remove yourself from their squabbles, which is why I actually think that the game idealizes Andrew Ryan's vision and simply believes that humans are too foul to ever achieve it.
