Did you pay any attention at all to what was happening on screen at any point in the game
(me creeping around tranquilizing & fultoning random mercenaries to brainwash into my private army/cult) yes this is very Leftist,
The games never advance a meaningful socialist/Marxist/leftist position. But they are consistently hyper critical of US politics at home and abroad to an extent that is anti-imperialist, anticolonial, and anti-capitalist. The politics are all negative but still good. One game's final boss is the president.
In mgsv you are assisting the mujahideen against the red army
Yeah good point, definitely not political
to be fair Kojima is probably a Trotskyist, there's a whole radio monologue by Ocelot about how 'this flag doesn't mean anything here' if you call while looking at the USSR flag in MGSV
