Heinlein changed his mind.

There are 7 years between Starship Troopers and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, during which the world didn’t end or devolve into anarchy.

That’s a long time to think about something, especially if you do so by writing an entire book about the theme.

Well, then there’s what he said in the form letter above, that the views expressed in fiction aren’t necessarily those of the author in real life.
