They live is the ultimate “anyone reads their ideology into it” kind of movie. I’m sure fascists think it’s about how Jews control the world or whatever
Quite frankly, any kind of movie that relies on secret rulers and a hidden power is more fash than leftist, not that that necessarily says anything about John Carpenter directly of course.
If they bail on the movie early that’s certainly true, but the ultimate goal of the aliens is to extract all of earth’s resources and abandon us to die. Pretty clear critique of capitalism.
