I thought the entire point of the communism bad stuff was to make it as over the top and insane as possible as a criticism of the anti communist narrative but that may have just been my interpretation
Especially things like liberty prime just being so obviously insane
The McCarthyism aspect was not really that present pre-Fallout 3, China was never really discussed at all - beyond that they nuked america, neither was its ideology. Fallout as a franchise got flanderized hard with the whole 50s Americana, in fact the first two games major 50s influence was mainly in art deco architecture a la Chrysler building.
