I honestly pondered making a "discussion" post on that topic elaborating a bit more, but since there is a "no politics" rule on Less Wrong, I decided not to. When I'm part of community, I respect the rules of that community, even if I don't agree totally with them. To a point of course ;)

It is not clear whether there is a "no politics rule" on LW. You should make your post as a test to discover whether or not there is one.

If you think there is a "no politics rule," be specific about what you think it is and what leads you to believe that it exists.

Well, that's more about economics than politics per se, and some similarly politics-reated themes (racism, religion, criminalization of drugs, women's rights, etc.) have been discussed on LW quite often.
