I think the message of They Live; is that our rulers complete lack of empathy for ordinary people means they might as well be aliens.
Also I don't think it was a vision of the future; it was about society at the time.

I'm more interested in what the movie tells me than in the message the author was trying to convey. If you look at it from the rulers perspective, it will depende on whichever the rulers are. I prefer to look from the perspective of the individual and how propaganda and the need to conform affects my ideas, conscience and behaviour.
