I see what you mean, though I don’t really think it’s social-political in as much as it is social-existential commentary.
I always took it as humanity as a whole will fail, and that we will be our own downfall if ( and when ) we turn on each other. A classic morality/cautionary tale about our own inability to coexist amidst turmoil and get over our penchant for petty jealousy and being consumerist sheep, in the face of a greater threat.
