    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.
