Is Dune leftist? I see it more as a scientific work dissecting power structures and human psychology, but not really criticizing those power structures and providing a better alternative.

It was embraced by the Left of its time for being so ecologically-forward. I think one of Dune's central themes is criticizing power from the reader's perspective - we know that Paul and Leto II's plans will have disastrous results, but even with psychic knowledge theyre still short sighted.
