Looking at both links it is completely obvious which is the political of the two. You are really stretching calling the Advocate Circle the same as the various FSF campaigns. Some of the FSF campaigns listed are "surveillance", "upgrade from Windows" and DRM.

> Some of the FSF campaigns listed are "surveillance", "upgrade from Windows" and DRM All of these restrict your freedoms, so that someone else is in control of the program and not the user. This is very much what free software stands for. So in reality, you're disagreeing with the principles of free software themselves. > surveillance Directly interferes with you being in control of the program, if it spies on you, violating the principle of free software that the user should be in control of the program and not the other way around. > upgrade from Windows So the Free Software Foundation advocating for the adoption of Free Software. Isn't that what it should be doing? > DRM DRM, by its very definition, restricts the freedom of the user to run the software in any way they wish, thus violating the free software principles. None of these imply a "wide-reaching" political agenda.
