I'm only a few episodes into the show. The books did a decent job with having the three factions have different cultures/politics. Belters are definitely represented as auth-soc adjacent, but the OPA is a psuedo-fringe terrorist group that's kinda broadening in appeal up to book 5 when more lines start getting drawn. It felt fairly organic instead of this master plan, which I appreciated.
I meant to revisit this but fell asleep. It's obviously not something anyone here would consider socialism, but I do think it is a portrayal of collectivism that's not trying to be utopian or painted as naive. Which is about as good an effort as I expected from a mainstream book.

Also Marco is a huge piece of shit.

From what I get the OPA starts as a bunch of different groups with different tactics and ideologies, that kinda get forced into unification by Marco
