The game isn't saying the Legion is justified, but is believable as a savage force.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't word that well. The game makes it clear that the legion is the bad guy, I just mean the NPCs who defend the legion don't make a very good case

How could they? The Legion is a fascist slave army, and Caesar misunderstands Hegel and misues the Dialectic. The entire nation is built on a sham, which is obvious to the player, but systemically reinforced upon the NPCs. Thus, it is believable while being undoubtedly wrong.
