I see the logic, but I don't think it's so much a communism versus capitalism comparison as an ideological one. We can see a decent example in modern Syria, substituting the Grineer and Corpus for ISIS and the Assad government. Segueing from this example, the Steel Meridian can fill the shoes of the Free Syrian Army; both it and ISIS are largely Sunni, but the FSA has the distinctions of actually caring about the human populous while also being heavily outnumbered. Following this logic, the Perrin Sequence could be mirrored in an Alawite militant sect (ideology of the Al-Assad family and a branch of Shia Islam,) that also cares about the human populace when the government does not. While both the Sunni FSA and Alawite militants are attempting to protect civilians in the shadows of two raging monsters, they are still ideologically opposed to the point of potential conflict themselves.
