Meant to post pic related. Context is that there had been funding cuts to public universities, and the politically obsessed student council decided to take several universities, either having classes outside or denying them from being held. They even barricaded street wit desks. As for the kind of people they are, imagine a mixture of Che Guevara fanatics and your Burger left leaning college attendees (since from them they seem to addopt their choice in fashion and gender ideology).
This is just a translation between current student protests and some space politics in an 80s Japanese cartoon

Translation is
>top
"We will fight the opressing reforms, which are against student's rights and endanger public education... by making them not have classes"
"We will fight the opressing Earth, which is against colonists' rights and pollutes the planet... by dropping a colony on Earth"
>bottom
"Voldemort was defeated by organized students", the side comment is "from yesterday's lessons..."

It depends, in the original 0079 show one can easily see Zeon was written to be standing for Imperial Japan (and more superficially, Nazi Germany), attacking suddenly against the bigger and more resourceful Earth Federation, causing the One Year War, having an edge until the Feddies make their own mobile suits, and then suffering defeat. All the time sufffering from serious ideological stubborneess

Maybe in the sequels (mainly Z, ZZ and CCA) the role of Anaheim can be seen as what you mean, as it is a corporation, made up of mostly former Zeon engineers, which provides weapons to both the Federation and Zeon Remnant groups, not only making conflicts greater, but enabling them tto.

Then there is The Origin, some sort of prequel/remake of 0079. I haven't seen it but it seems to portray Zeon in a more positive light, to the point of making them dindu Mary Sues and it was the federation which was responsible for leading up to the war.
Apparently, Anaheim is retconned into already existing in the OYW,

And while most see Zeon as Space Nazis, I see them as Space Peronists, as there are Zeon splinters as there are Peronists parties all over the political spectrum, in fact every player in XXth century Argentinian politics has something in Gundam resembling them Specially with their hypocrisy, The gassing of the entire population of a colony not alligned with you, in order to us it as a weapon against Earth, is justified as being in the name of Spacenoind freedom, and idea I'd expect to come from down here
