1980s had political themes. Even the basic premise was a civil war between authoritarians and rebels fleeing a world ravaged by industrial over exploitation.

And one of the 80s episodes referenced the Cuban Missile Crisis as the US and USSR almost went to war over a missing jet.

Mind you it was a kids show from the 89s designed to sell toys, but it had some politics. Everything is ultimately politics, you can’t avoid it.
