The movie has anti-oppression themes at every level. It has no human substance. No real moral complexity and no real character development. It's just the oppressed rising up. The film seriously comes off like a piece of propaganda.

Rey rebels against Luke Skywalker, symbolically against the idea of noble lineage itself
Luke and Yoda rebel against tradition
Kylo rebels against Luke as a child
Kylo rebels against Snoke as an adult
The oppressed children are depicted as on the path to rebellion against the wealthy elite on the arms dealer planet

The one case in which the aesthetic of rebellion is clearly reversed is with Poe, who symbolizes masculinity. His rebellion against the female leadership fails and he is depicted as entitled.
