No. Helter Skelter is a true crime bestselling book by Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi. A novel is fiction. Bugliosi has gone on to write several other best selling true crime books. One about the OJ Simpson trial.
There is no political bias in Helter Skelter. I've read that book many times and it really has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with winning an impossible case for the people of California. That's it.
This is one of the most interesting trivia facts about the murders. The message on the LaBianca's refrigerator was "Healter Skelter". It was pointed out in the true crime bestseller "Helter Skelter" by prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi. That was Rosemary's blood, by the way. If you look close at the photo section in the middle of the book you will see that the word Helter is spelled Healter. Bugliosi obviously has an eye for detail.

The 2-part made for TV movie is called Helter Skelter and is based on the New York Times Bestseller Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi, Manson's prosecutor. The actor's name is Steve Railsback. After Helter Skelter Railsback wasn't seen much. His portrayal of Manson was so eerie and accurate that he was typecast and work slowed a bit. Years later Railsback portrayed another serial killer, Ed Gein of Plainsville, WI. He was great in this movie also.
The only reason it would be relevant to either government or politics would be as an example of how the justice system works, when it works. Bugliosi took an almost impossible case against Manson and nailed him on all counts. I always wish Bugliosi had been in the DA's office when OJ Simpson was tried for double murder.
