    I don’t think there is anything in Star Wars that is socialist, maybe except some primitive communists and small scale utopians here and there (and definitely zero marxism), it’s one of those super common sci-fi settings where the horrors of capitalism are shown both in micro and in macro scale, but they are inevitable without alternative and the best people can hope for is to have relatively unmurderous liberal regime in place and some crumbs from imperialism flying their direction. At least untill the next iteration of Republic crumble into the next iteration of fascist Sith empire (that happened at least 6 times in expanded universe).

      Yeah, same in Legends of the Galactic heroes although at least there there are more politics and you can learn better what they are, it would have been awesome to have some Marxists, though, we need Marxist fiction.
