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 ;)
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.
I wish I could upvote this twice. It deserves being made into a top-level post.

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.
