Yeah the guy goes through a very well written radicalization arc. Starts the show being an insufferable liberal, ends it supporting the revolution he fought against. Don't expect any kind of real leftist theory from this anime, but it at least wears genuine anti-imperialism on its sleeve.
Suzaku's arc in Geass is kinda like this. Of course it's all insane but there's definitely an element of what you're talking about.
