I think this thread needs a lot more context. In Zero to One, which they are discussing in this exchange, Thiel is not so much talking about political ideas, as business ideas.

I think he's talking about both. When he asks the question as an interview question he does allow for both answers.

Having the question as a standard interview question also allows Thiel to get a lot of good answers from different people.
