It sounds like Goldsmith is choosing a reading which fits his personal political view of the current US administration and the rights and wrongs of the American Civil War. This enables a conflation of Serenity Crew = Good, Serenity Crew = The South, therefore The South = Good.

The evidence for Serenity Crew = The South is weak. There might be "Mal + Zoe = defeated Southern foot soldiers", but Firefly stories are just as savage about their equivalent of the comfortable Southern landowner (think the Mudders, or the episode with the Governor's son's virginity) as they are about the Alliance or any other kind of abusive power-figure.

Many stories can be (mis)read to support distasteful world views. That is no reason for anyone else to feel uncomfortable enjoying the stories.
