I hear you Aleck. However, even sci-fi of my era was heavily saturated with Western idealism. A spill over from the space race (anyone old enough to remember that 🙄 ) was sci-fi. Take the original Star Trek, the writers never failed to promote American idealism through it’s scripts. Lost In Space looks positively dated with it’s concentration on the nuclear family and traditional American values. Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea is a third. As I see it, the politics started to leave sci-fi around the mid to late seventies when more international concerns started producing widely distributed sci-fi. Of course, my memory is not what it used to be…..too many cracks on the head from my protests as a young “whipper snapper”.
