MarLib is also one of the few ideologies traditionally portrayed as morally neutral. Like, Syndies, socdems, and soclibs are typically portrayed in a very positive light (see: demsoc South Africa, demsoc Cuba, democratic Red America, the left wing of the PSA, Federalist China, Soong's KMT, anarchist and demsoc Indochina, Gandhi's Bharat, Olson and Landon's USAs), Totalists and Natpops in an extremely negative one (Mosley is basically Big Brother, and other totalists and natpops include insane totalitarians like Dai Li, corrupt assholes who legalize suicide to get away with murder, outright French CommieNazis, Mussolini, a genocidal revanchist, a guy who likes sticking Jews on fishhooks, a literal Nazi, American Himmler, and the Kodoha faction literally want to rape, pillage, and burn all of China in a genocidal orgy of violence while turning Japan into a genocidal totalitarian agrarian feudalism-cosplay), but mar-libs and soc-cons tend to be less interesting and morally neutral, so ironically people hate on the Mar-Libs because they only really know the meme about them.
