Also, it's kind of basic espionage that if you know your opponent has an ear somewhere, you feed it false or misleading information to manipulate them.
Sometimes if you want to keep the feed open you feed unimportant real information until you're ready to play them hard.
Someone else pointed out the opening sequence and that gave me the thought that all you'd have to do is pull that out and now the movie is no longer eugenics but materialist.
If I'm reimagining it to that degree is it still the same movie? Valid question, but that's where I'm with you: it was gold except for the eugenics crap.
In a sense the premise I laid out is that most of the world is communist and therefore a global project, but self-determination is a part of that. Its ideal and most peaceful process is a voluntary union, perhaps a confederation, leading to the withering away of the state.
Comically, this is almost exactly the debate about socialist self-determination that I had in mind.
The original absolutely was, but if you pull out the intro sequence, now it's historical materialism (everyone's an idiot because capitalism left them that way and nukes prevented liberation). Wouldn't be the first retcon in history.

Tinsley was arrested on May 18, 1989, after being accused by his 18-year-old daughter Allison of molesting her since she was 13.[6][7] According to court records, he allegedly told his coworkers, "You can't write about this stuff all the time if you don't experience it."[8]
Uhhh, yes you fucking can actually. You can literally write about anything. I've never been inside the asshole of an 80 foot tall giantess but I could write about it if I wanted because that's how writing fucking works.
On the other hand, a decades long comic called "Chester the Molester" was probably a pretty fucking big indicator.
