Very Ishinomori, and in retrospect the perfect fit for the anniversary.

Yes, but in fact, such criticism also benefits the government. This is a suggestion designed for those who are negatively inclined towards the ruling system and therefore are not subject to direct propaganda. Actually, that`s why movies criticizing the authorities, and sometimes even directly showing their crimes, are not prohibited and are even released by completely legal, successful film studios, and not by a handful of oppositionists. Moreover, if you look into it, it turns out that some of these films are government orders. Such open criticism without showing ways to solve problems gives rise to either apathy or false hope that the system will change if a good man is put in charge instead of a bad man.
Returning to the Black Sun, the juvenile terrorists in the end caused many commentators to scream much more indignation than the vicious retired politicians, so he clearly fits the criteria I described above. And this may not even necessarily be done intentionally: success breeds imitation and there will always be those who sincerely do what others are paid to do.
