    Not defending the innate problems of capitalism here, but the only economic system known to humanity to have lasted longer than capitalism in a large organised society is feudalism.

      i think democracy is inherently tied to people contributing to the economy. you can’t have a democracy of unemployed people. but economic growth on earth is stagnating, and democracy will disband. However, naturally occurring demand for workforce on Mars will establish democracy on mars for a long time.

        You can absolutely have a democracy of unemployed people. This basically just describes a solar punk utopia.
