Pax Draconis, actually, has the big bad Empire, which promotes stability and such, fighting the separatist People's Republic, which has freedoms, but is criticized for having a government where "freedom is proportional to the size of their bank accounts". (So it's not really a marxist sort of People's Republic.)

It seems closer to the dichotomoy you suggest, although the Empire seems more authoritarian than socialist, and the Republic seems more mercenary than necessarily freedom-loving. (I would have to read the actual material, which I've not had a chance to do.)
