It’s more like capitalism-skeptic than anti-capitalist but in the extreme pro-capitalist hellscape of the world post-USSR even the mildest criticism of corporate oligarchy can be seen as a critique of capitalism despite it really not entirely being that. I mean, this is the country that is still extensively populated by folk that think socialism is when the government does stuff and communism is basically the Borg but with the color red.
That said, it is extremely funny that the rebuttal hinges on things being bad all over which means fuck-all when capitalism is a global system that fucks with everything and everyone, and is the only world the majority of the franchise’s fans have ever known.
