Sure but I feel like this has also become a huge trope in all forms of capitalist entertainment. The bad guy is always trying to create a "perfect society" and the lesson you're supposed to learn is "if you try make things better that deviates at all from all our preconceived notions of "how things work", you will only fail and somehow make things even worse".
Or also, people who want to change things are evil, incompetent, have an ulterior motive or all of this. And every attempt at making change is bad, it must all be small and incremental. And also as a bonus try to think how such a mindset would start working in ones personal relationships...
That is an example. Or even when they want to change, guess how well that happens in a culture, where the concept of change is demonized from early age.
And usually the main villain is an anarchist/communist-coded character whose goals are relatively sympathetic and line up with a lot of your own (wonder why?) but OOPS! They do something completely irrational and awful near the end that gOeS tOo fAr. Usually the rationale is something like "I want them to suffer like I/we have," (Eg: Menendez from Black Ops 2, not technically a villain but Rebecca Thorne from Mirrors Edge Catalyst) which I've literally never heard any leftist say irl. The CIA's got its tentacles in all popular media, but sometimes they don't even have to do anything because we're all so propagandized we'll do psyops on each other.

"You shouldn't be trying to improve me if you love me the way I am"
Ahhhhhh that's enough of those memories. Probably not gonna date a lib again.

Lots of them are just trying to become God.
