I read widely without much regard for politics (as long as the story is not simply a disguised political polemic, which I've come to find boring even if I nominally agree with it), but I was just trying to answer the question as asked. Only perhaps a couple of his stories start to get into polemic territory, and even that, let me emphasize, "start"; none of them that I've read are outright political pamphlets. Mostly they're great sci-fi.
