#1 Re: Martian Politics and Economy » Communism is what will happen - Communism on Mars (not Soviet soc.) » 2001-10-05 03:44:40

At least in the beginning, communism is what will naturally occur. The structure of society will be such that groups of people will be sharing an air-habitat and everything in in it, and they will engage in trade with other such habitats. Habitats will take on their own culture, know-how, etc. Trade will be done using the products they produce. This is the way it will have to be at least in the beginning. Religious or conscience oppression, Soviet style, will not exist. Strong,
beaurocratic central government, Soviet style, will also not exist. Everyone will need to work for what they have and share it. The person who makes air will share with the person who makes food, and so on. No useless beaurocrats will exist. No useless monarchs will exist either.

I would, at least, refuse to recognize a "king". The planet
as a whole, should be governed by a board of elected members from each of the  habitats.
