I thought about this a lot while watching it. He would've been a great, albeit annoying bureaucrat in a communist society. It doesn't matter what the rules are, he would make sure they're followed to the letter. In his life, that meant dying for a fascist empire.

In a communist utopia, he would've made sure all the forms are filled out before getting your alottment of food or guaranteed job, or tracking down corruption in party officials, or something else indispensable that doesn't require people to like you, but does mean picking some principles and following them to the end and gives him some authority to retain some control he never got while living with his mother.

Oh, like there aren't good obnoxious jerks nobody likes.
