I haven't read the original comics, but I did see a few videos on the history of certain characters spanning the series.

I will tell you that the main baddie is going to be effectively a super-nazi (also, he hasn't even been introduced yet). Like, literally imagine Superman if he was literally a Nazi, and he was of a race of Nazis who were successful in building a planet of super-Nazis and created a super Nazi space empire.

From what I understand of the series, it doesn't feel like your average ""Neo-Liberal"" or Leftist radical propaganda. In fact, the truth of the matter seems to be that the super-heroes are all pretty self-interested and back-stabbing. The race of super-nazis even kinda has a point since what they are doing is because they are actually super-nazis that are unbelievably more powerful and evolutionary advanced than basically anything in the galaxy. No one's ever truly good, and no one's ever truly evil in the series; and the characters tend to lean towards good and evil, while understanding their own context in the form of powers and desires. Invincible, being the protagonist, is a 'good' character, but he basically has to learn how to be good given himself and his circumstances. Other heroes will fail to learn how to be good. On the other hand, villains may be either good or bad. Sometimes they will try to be good and fail. Sometimes they will be good and fail.

There seems to be an element of confusion about what it actually means to be good or evil, based on the things that you do, and power can corrupt what that means.

Whatever propaganda I suspect you would see in the comment is less intentional propaganda, and more of the biases of the cultural milieu of the industry. As for the show itself, it's going to be very hard to tell, but I can see why a radical Leftist would be attracted to the comic due to the fact that the comic undermines most tropes... except the "racist, powerful, white, men" trope.
