Not my screenshot btw but I hunted it down after playing through this part. I've been playing it for a bit now (I'm on path C) and it's still not 100% obvious to me that it's an explicitly pro-leftist, though there are some hints. For example, there are also 2 robots named Marx and Engels, where Marx dies early and you talk to Engels as a side quest. I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on this game if you've played it before.

SciFi was made to look at humanity through the lens of androids and animals. Our insecurities, hypocrisy, and lack of compassion is called into question. Blade Runner, RoboCop, Terminator, Princess Mononoke... All have strong themes about what it means to be human when the corruption and soullessness takes root of humanity.
