I don't care to play or learn much about the game given it's fascist fan base but I thought the bug were representative of a reactionary's idea of communism.

It’s a parody of what a fascist US would look like and it’s not subtle about it.

Considering the Automatons' makers (the totally-not-space-Soviet Cyborgs of Helldivers 1) are canonically all now enslaved and locked up in the mines of Cyberstan... yes, the Automatons are 110% justified.

It’s a game and the bugs and automatons don’t actually exist. As such they can be whatever moral alignment you desire

Weirdo fascists seem to have taken a liking to the main characters so probably.

They can be entirely justified in their resistance without being the good guys. Hard to say given the limited information we have. Also the devs probably aren't going to do some deep geopolitical analysis of a fictional world.

Automatons definitely are. Bugs seem to be just wild animals bred by super earth as resources. Bugs may get more coordinated and an actual society.

Probably not. AFAIK the devs are Swedish. Which means they're too chickenshit to commit to the bit

Good? Not sure. Completely justified in their counteroffensive against Super Earth? Absolutely.

I have added "and bugs" to the title of this post
