What kind of political system will the first colony on Mars be?

What kind of political system will the first colony on Mars be?

The Barronreich

autismocracy

Most likely total socialism to start unfortunately.

Martian Law

It's called the red planet...

Planet of the Apes.

whatever you want it to be, because its never gonna happen.

Man, I'm actually in awe of the craters on the far left side.

Imagine the impact those asteroids would have made back in the day.

Communist... Those communist nations might be owned by capitalist corporations but everyone living on Mars will be something similar to slaves working for food and board

Direct democracy

Realistically, a dictatorship. Someone has to be in charge.

Her Majesty's Penal Colony for Intolerable Faggots

Ethical anarchy.

they're volcanoes

That's Australia m8

Timeframe and scale?
I mean the very first settlement will be too small for anything but cold pragmatism and rigid team structures to keep it functioning.

Can't have full fledged democracy in a place that could mean certain death if one man does not do his job properly.

If it's stable then there's room for change.
And most likely they'll copy earth and establish a democracy.
Don't expect the "FIRST REAL EVURRR (until it fails)" communist state on mars.

Racial Socialism

Theocracy.

There is no Space exploration without God's approval.

Considering they would only send capable people to build it, most likely some kind of trust-based oligarchy.

Corporate dystopia, run by the computerized brain of Elon Musk.

mining colony

After they witnessed all that shit going on here on earth, i say atheist fascism.

Corporate hierarchy-based dictatorship.

Probably owned by Nestle, Monsanto or something.

ESOTERIC BOGDANOFFISM

Military chain of command /ucmj

Some German will take her pet Muslim refugee on the sole rocket to Mars as Earth is engulfed and he will peacefully run over the last 50 white people in the known galaxy with a landing rover.

He will then breed with the German, creating a sort of hybrid race that moves from planet to planet ruining everything and making creatures on the edge of the universe apologise for things that happened billions of lightyears away.

It will be structured like a company(soft Dictatorship)

Totalitarian technocracy

You would think so, but it is far more likely we send a "diverse" group of people up there who will immediately take all of their problems to another planet.

Mars will have Africans, Arabs, mentally retarded people and leftists too.

underrated

How about that massive gash, huge canyon system.

Especially considering that it would initially be dependent on supplies from a company run by a libertarian.

Pictures of planets with that completely black background always spook me. Just imagine floating through that complete darkness for eternity.

M A R S A E T E R N U M

the colony of manlets

>Just imagine floating through that complete darkness for eternity

technically that's what you're already doing

A fake one, like the planet model in the pic.

They are lying about space.

...

What's behind all the mars talk recently?

Military Junta because it will likely be a semi independent military base with a small population of civilian support and civilian pioneers

Military Dictatorship

Humanity first motherfuckers, fuck you space niggers, we're full

Terran federation

Wrong! The low gravity will produce superlanklets of +7ft height with a body weight of 100lbs or less.

Planetary socialism, ruled by a team of bionic Hitler clones, of course.

Martian Nationalist Socialism though. Terrans are inferior.

Some kind of hippy shit like the first Pilgrim colony in America had. One for all and all for one, that kind of shit. Then when reality kicks in, or when it starts to grow to a large size, or when it starts to realize that being ruled by people who can only even send a mission to them once every 3 years is retarded, they'll move to a more democratic, structured political system.

>implying any human outpost won't be inevitably overrun with "zerg"

Didn't work out so well for the Mormons.

This. Mars is going to be developed as an industrial hub. we can pollute that place as much as we want.

The Expanse book series ponders this. I kinda agree with the writers. Martians would be hard ass and superior in tech, education and warfare.

It'd likely be a military collective under dictatorship because thats just how shit gets accomplished.

>craters
user

It is pretty much impossible to be a leftist snowflake that doesn't pull their own weight in a harsh environment like Mars.

Be lucky if it wasn't full on fascist.

>political system

its gonna be a giant prison

Best post

It's still a good idea.

The best part about it: there aren't giant space bugs farting plasma beams at our worlds.

Depends on who gets there first and what they are doing.

>SpaceX
Corporate autocracy
>US Navy
XCOM IRL
>China
Communist Hivemind
>NASA
Boredom

Realistically, no matter who goes, the first real Mars base will function just like every other human space endeavor. It will be an extension of whatever technical entities are in charge, the same way ISS runs, the same way a cargo ship runs. The crew maintains and works towards goals while taking orders from their home office.

I'd take the farting plasma beams over the niggers any day of the week.

>Mars will have Africans, Arabs, mentally retarded people and leftists too.

What are airlocks and loyalty tests?

I think you are confused with HMS Moonmoor for Criminal Lunatics

Imagine the impact I made on your mum back in the day

The machine spirits be praised.

It will have to be largely a command economy

whatever there is we will claim it in the name of Allah the Almighty, one and only true god! the time of whites is over! ALLAHU ACKBAR! Alhamdulillah!

No whites on Mars! Give it to the black man where they will all get 40 acres and a space-mule. We will send them all there using the new "Space Cannon". They will now be forever free of the evil influence of whites, and their magic melanin powers will be restored.
Meme this and make it so.

..and Liberals will all go to Venus.

Exocracy

Imagine getting a bunch of STEM autists together and trying to start a functioning government
