I don't know much about his personal beliefs, but his stories are kind of libertarian I think. Capable people usually get away with doing whatever they want.
The fun of speculative fiction is that it allows the author to posit different societies from our own. Heinlein wrote with many kinds of protagonists in all kinds of different structures. He was a product of his time, of course, but the only part that usually sticks out at me are that the women often don't have much agency.
There's an official Heinlein society community, by the way! They could probably weigh in. !the_heinlein_society@lemmy.world
