One of my favorite current sci-fi writers, Elliott Kay, started a series with Poor Man's War, in which a future spacefaring society is basically built around people spending their lives paying off crushing student debt--the stresses of which eventually lead to a war.
It is equally subtle in how the main character relates to the jingoism around him as part of that war.
Very few interesting things could be written without implicit political values, even if uncontroversial.
