Even if it was intended to be taken as political... from what I recall SpongeBob spent most of the episode (unintentionally) sabotaging Squidward's protest (which he had only joined in sympathy, not out of any especial grievance with Mr Krabs), and then suddenly went full radical once Squidward had managed to force Mr Krabs to the bargaining table and gotten the necessary concessions out of him... which were completely ruined by SpongeBob's radical actions. This is weirdly fitting for how I see these kiddie socialists.That episode wasn’t even political. It has political themes, yeah, but it wasn’t trying to preach a message. It was clearly taking the piss out of everyone, from the skinflint boss to the ineffective strikers to the uncaring customers, without coming off as preachy or cynical.
