part 5 is about criminals who are all obviously gay, but doesn't have any kind of ethos behind why crime might be justifiable, is pretty anti-drug, and the manga has hated cops since part 2 opened up with joseph killing those pigs so part 5 isn't special there
I dunno, everyone's Sad Backstory is all about how all the regular channels fail to administer justice in any meaningful way, necessitating a life of crime for our heroes, and Giorno's quest is basically to accrue enough political power to enforce justice by a parallel power structure than the establishment.
Like, I'm not gonna say Araki is a closet leftist propagandist like Oda is, but imo part 5 has decent enough politics.
that's fair, there's stuff to read into there. i just don't think it's as concrete as part 6's depiction of prison as it mirrors the capitalist world, or in part 7
Pucci is very heretical esp with his ideas of "heaven" but honestly i find that idea heaven far more interesting than "lol you now live in cloud puffs".

Yeah part 6 & 7 have stronger political themes for sure
tbf it is mainly concerned with heroine addicts being victims of dealers and those dealers being scum
yeah i'm not saying it's got garbage politics, i just don't think it's as clear as later parts
Jolyne is best Jojo.
