It’s pretty neutral on communism, which is probably for the best given that it doesn’t understand it at all. Its one attempt to dip a pinky into theory has them quibbling over the translation into English of ‘property is theft’ from Kapital, which is extremely not where that line comes from and Marx disagreed with it.
Labour organizing and attending CPUSA meetings are shown as broadly good things, but ones which Oppie needs to set aside for the greater good (since they need him to have the best chance of beating the Nazis to the bomb, and the FBI won’t give him a security clearance to join Manhattan if he keeps that stuff up). The USSR is even more off-screen than Japan.

IDK American leftists squabbling about theory they clearly haven’t actually read sounds pretty on point to me.
