The line is usually "do I agree with it". That's why old political writing is good - because the politics has been settled by now, most people won't argue 1984 was unfairly criticizing totalitarianism or Starship Troopers are too hard on fascism. But new political writing is outrageous for half the people, because they disagree with it.
