I think people are interpreting it that way because the plot line is so similar to invasion of the body snatchers which is more explicitly anti communist and came out during McCarthyism
The characters have directly called this out in the show and I want to give the writers a little credit that they’re using the tropes as a launching pad for something more interesting. Vince is an incredible writer but does have a track record for Americanisms in his work. Personally I don’t think we’ve seen enough of the plot yet to know what the writers intend to say with the concept.
