Yeah. That's what I would say too if I was surrounded by communist progressive-authoritarian filmmakers and producers asking questions about my movie. I've heard that Verhoeven was essentially run out of Hollywood sometime around 2000, when he returned to the Netherlands to make films.
The sarcastic tone in the movie pokes fun at herd morality and thinly disguised self-interest put forth as the moral high ground. No where in the film does it criticize the social or political system as far as I can tell. It just kind of presents it, expands on some of the natural consequences, and let's the viewer decide. Refreshing, really.
