If you really want that sentence then it really should read

"Extropianism has no bearing on political philosophy. While many extropians are libertarian, the Extropian philosophy is fully compatible with communism, facism, and anarchy."

If Extropy really has no bearing on politicla philosophy, then this sentence, which many including me would want to say is false, would stand as true. Is that the case?
