It was at times, although the original idea behind Kamen Rider, or rather his motivation, is highly anti-fascist.
The basic plot of Kamen Rider is that Shocker as an organization gathers the brightest minds and strongest athletes to create a world where they rule over the humans they deem "weak" and "flawed". Takeshi Hongo is selected to join them as their Cyborg general, refuses and flees before being brainwashed, using his newfound powers to fight Shocker instead.
A few panels from the original work of Shotaro Ishinomori really explain it best:
So yeah, that’s Kamen Rider for me. Someone who fights for those who cannot fight for themselves, against fascists and other despicable people who use their strength to harm others for their own gain.
...
They kind of have to wear a fancy costume and have a belt that makes silly noises at the same time though, that’s non-optional.
