I don't think it became less political either? It became generally more specifically Leftist ie GoF

"Evolved" may have not been the correct word. I was going for a poorly conceived Pokemon/DBZ analogy.
I don't think it became less political, per se, but I don't think any post-punk band had the political impact of say, the Pistols or the Clash, at least in terms of popular consciousness. I also think that politics and/or political messaging is more closely tied to punk than to post-punk. Not quite a necessity, but a very frequent accompaniment. Not quite as frequent with post-punk.
