Like, if you wrote a sci-fi or fantasy novel that was basically a blow-by-blow account of the lead up to the October Revolution and what followed it in the proceeding 75 or so years except in a different settings using different names, you're going to find that the overwhelming majority of people are going to take a pro-soviet position without realising it.

I mean George Lucas did this with Star Wars and the Viet Cong. He said so himself. And aside from the empire did nothing wrong weirdos (which are mostly ironic, I hope), the majority of the people support the Rebels.
