    I would said libertarian, main idea of all six books is “don’t trust prophets, tyrants, governments etc.”, but he sometimes stanned aristocracy in the greek meaning of the world*, in sense that he wrote that every single form of bureocracy (that is apparently every government) will deform into aristocracy so we could as well have good aristocracy like Leto I - although that might be ironic since after a second of applying historical materialism to Leto he seems like incredibly ambitious type who was just very good at PR.

    He also liked weird system being caste system for the poors and feudalism plus capitalism for the rich. Plus some social darwinism here and there.

    *Notably in 5 and especially 6 book which are clearly weakest and least consistent of the series, maybe because he was basically already dying writing them.
