You are absolutely correct that was a political push he was trying to do. The key thing in terms of kids he never did anything like "you should vote for capitalism or Democrats or whatever when you grow up"
For the kids his show was solely about how to treat other people and themselves as they grow. My kids do still watch his show, at least when they want something relaxing to go to sleep with which is good enough for me.
This isn't to say he was perfect but I would be so insanely happy if we lived in a world with most people living close to the level he did in caring for others.
