Does D have any political goals?

I'm not sure if this is about party politics. I decided look at 
RustConf 2020 just in order to understand what this is all about.

This presentation is not really about party politics but more 
that they claim using politics in order for them to reach their 
goal, that is politics is a tool. They did not mention anything 
regarding politics connected to any country/state government. The 
conference is more similar to a big corporate event where CEO/CTO 
talks with big words how wonderful their company/products are and 
*insert big words* in order to achieve their business goals.

I haven't followed the Rust community everywhere so I can't say 
if it more political on other channels. Going through posts on 
Twitter would take too long time for me.

There is a cppcon talk that is more political to me and that is 
where they reference early 1900 century communist intellectuals 
in order to "change" C++. This talk is more political to me than 
I've found in Rust. I couldn't find this one on Youtube anymore, 
maybe you are better than me.

Are there political undertones among programmers that they cannot 
suppress during official presentations? Maybe that's the case.

In the case of D, it's kind of inverted that we almost lack the 
non-technical staff. Almost all of the people here have a 
software engineering background which means that for example 
compared to Rust we are lousy at marketing or understanding the 
needs of all the different types of programming/programmers.
