I'm taking your spoiler warning seriously and thus I haven't gone to the site to see for myself what's up; but, having the principle characters espousing Marxism wouldn't be a bad thing. At this point in the Star Wars "history", the Republic is about to collapse into tyranny. How many real republics have collapsed into despotism as a result of Marxism? Though this may not be what was intended by Lucas & Co., seeing the Galactic Republic fall as a result of Marxism would be a good object lesson for movie-goers. "See? Even Jedi knights cannot keep Socialism from going bad."

The scene is about 1000 times worse than what I think you're imagining. It depicts the bad guys, plotting a coup against the Republic, and they are saying that the reason they want to pursue this coup is to promote capitalism. Things like "low taxes" and "free trade" are mentioned as goals of the evil plotters.
