There is still the possibility that Paul Verhoeven intended it seriously with subtle critiques of liberalism, but saying so out loud would kill his socioeconomic status.
He made his reputation of being loudly and unashamedly critical of things like Fascism and America in general. In fact, he would call those two one and the same. He would not have been subtle about this, he openly called a more faithful adaption a pure "Trump Presidency."
He is a through and through European liberal in the most pathetic sense. And has people hanging on his words because he saw Nazis as a child so that makes him an "authority" on calling everything Fascism.
