I think it's actually doing better then most gatherings of smart people attempting to reorganize society.

Bear in mind that LessWrong has not actually reorganised society yet.

I read that comment as: "I think it's actually doing better than most <gatherings of smart people attempting to reorganize society> (in staying self-aware and not being as socially naive)". Not that it's doing better than Marxists or others in actually changing the world. They obviously did a lot more in that regard than LessWrong ever has (or likely ever will).
