Of course everything is political. Modern human (and every human species that ever existed) is a pack animal and therefore inherently a political one too. Every shall we say "artistic creation" (in the broadest sense of thing) is therefore also inherently tainted by politics. Now I do no know the politics of original Gamma World, but I am certainly sure it will not be difficult to figure them out once I get myself a copy. Expect me to report back with my findings in about a week or two.
Yeah, Gamma World is peak political.
I can see so many political talking points in there. Obviously, the bikini-clad girl's hairstyle is some kind of poilitical statement. Maybe it's a criticism of the overuse of hairspray leading to the global warming induced apocalypse.
That bunker in the background obviously has a phallic shape.
The hairspray girl is wielding a blaster gun, as is her green one-eyed pet. They're attacking a caravan of creatures armed with medievalish polearms. That's probably something about technologically advanced white people and their domesticated pets oppressing less technologically advanced non-white people. The guy riding the weird insect-snake looks like an orc, and we all know orcs are a stand-in for niggers.
Definite overtones of colonialism and oppression in there.
It's a dinosaur-bird wielding a blaster gun and crushing a robot while a blue-skinned dude with a blaster pistol, a goblin with a buckler that looks like it's made from a trasbin lid, and a white woman wielding a spear and a stop sign as a shield are laying in ambush.
Wow, there are
so many political themes hidden in this one, it's incredible!
Note how the woman is holding the stop sign shield over her crotch area. It's an obvious anti-rape allegory. It's telling men (and dinosaur-bird beasts) to stop raping women. That's also why the blue-skinned guy on the left has such a disgruntled expression on his face: he wants to rape, as all men do, but he can't because of the stop sign.
The dinosaur-bird represents neo-luddites who use technology (like the blaster gun he's wielding) in order to destroy industrial society (represented by the smashed robot). The dinosaur-bird basically represents Theodore Kaczynski.
And finally, behold this beautiful illustration by the legendary Clyde Caldwell:
A strong woman stands triumphantly above her male oppressor. White smoke rises from the wounds in his chest and face. Note that it is white smoke, not black smoke: it is the white man, after all, who is the oppressor, that's why the smoke is white too.
The floating robot at her side has a bird-like face. This represents the freedom she just attained, as birds are commonly used as a symbol of freedom.
The city in the background is built at a cliffside, with its leftmost tower standing precariously on a ledge. Just one bad storm and it will tumble into the water below. That represents the fragility of civilization. One little desaster can make it all tumble down.

Or maybe tough warrior girls armed with laser blasters fighting against insect-snake riding goblins and gunslinging dinosaur-birds in a post-apocalyptic raygun fantasy world is just
FUCKING COOL and nobody cares about retarded fucking politics you smoothbrained wankstain.
