It is sad how many people see politics here. Serling was better than that. The people in this story had been saved from a holocaust that had consumed nearly all of humanity by Goldsmith. But when a cheap thug offers them freedom they reject Goldsmith and party. And commit suicide. Sounds like America. Love has been replaced by its cheap substitute, sex. Money is our true god. And we spend our lives acquiring more no matter how much destruction it causes.
The moral is; do not question authority. the chain of command must always be upheld. therefore, we are all screwed if we think individually.. ..or so the 50ths communistparanoid USA wants us to believe.

the closing scene from the full episode is eerily similar to the No Country for Old Men when Moss walks into the aftermath of a drug deal gone bad.
