uggghhhh, tell me you have no media literacy without telling me you have no media literacy.
For the last time, Grievous was a fascist trying to dismantle a neoliberal democracy that was already decaying from the inside. Leia was a liberal trying to work inside the fascist regime to reinstall a neoliberal democracy.
Grevious yes, but there is a point to be made that some rebels against the republic were fighting against an overstepping republic for independence without grasping their movement was being co-opted by the Sith.
The intended parallel was the decay of democracy by the united effort of corporate interests. The Banking Clan, the Techno Union, the Commerce Guild, the Trade Federation, they all controlled a tremendous economic chunk of the Republic. The entire Separatist movement was orchestrated by the Sith, from the death of Master Syfo-Dias to the Hyperspace War that started the trade route taxes.
The entire thing was built by the Sith from day one to turn the Republic into the Empire.
And one of the smartest things Andor did was decide to have the show focus on a corporate world security officer because at the end of the day, no matter who won the war, the Emperor was all about merging state and corporate power under his control.

Neoliberal isn’t a useful term here, but if you were going to use it you should call Grievous a technofeudalist.
