Is this liberal propaganda?

Well, the director Tony Kaye is Jewish but I'm not sure that it was intended by him to be that liberal as he originally wanted Derek to shave his head and go back to being a skinhead. Although Norton refused to make that ending. New Line edited movie to turn out to be very different from how Kaye envisioned it. He even demanded his name to be removed from it, but he was refused. Still, this movie does have some sharp arguments in favour of white nationalism, to the extent that it's actually held in a bit of a high regard in white nationalist and neo-Nazi circles. If it was supposed to have a liberal bias, one would think that they should have made Derek more dim-witted like his friend Seth and someone who Murray could easily defeat in a battle of wits.
