I still can't get where AoT lies on the fascism spectrum

spoiler

On the one hand you've got these group of powerful people who were almost genocided, and then on the other you've get them genociding the rest of the world back as an ultimate survival strategy.

But Eren's final form doesn't exactly have the audience rooting for him, even when his motivations are explained. I expected another season where the whole world would unite to take him down, but that did not seem to happen...

So I just can't figure AoT out. Was the whole thing a commentary on fascism itself, or was it literally a revenge/survival plot?

I heard (not sure how true it is) that the manga creator is politically far-right. That's actually hilarious to me, and it might be the reason the message seems odd. The whole anime is like an essay on how shitty fascism is for the fascists, but then it takes a left turn while lying on its side, if you will.

definitely feels like it's trying to say something without saying it
