CHAPTER IX — Mars has no Polit­i­cal Sys­tem offers a detailed explo­ration of how Mar­t­ian soci­ety oper­ates with­out the con­ven­tion­al polit­i­cal struc­tures that dom­i­nate Earth. On Mars, there is no need for polit­i­cal sys­tems or gov­ern­men­tal over­sight, as the inhab­i­tants rely entire­ly on an over­ar­ch­ing prin­ci­ple of love and self-guid­ance to gov­ern their actions. Unlike the bureau­cra­cies and polit­i­cal hier­ar­chies com­mon­ly found on Earth, Mar­t­ian soci­ety thrives through self-reg­u­la­tion, with indi­vid­u­als guid­ed by their inner sense of moral and spir­i­tu­al respon­si­bil­i­ty. This fun­da­men­tal dif­fer­ence in gov­er­nance may be sur­pris­ing or even unset­tling for those accus­tomed to Earth’s polit­i­cal struc­tures, but it works effort­less­ly on Mars because of the innate har­mo­ny with­in the pop­u­la­tion. The absence of self­ish­ness or per­son­al greed is a key fac­tor in this system’s suc­cess, as every­one pri­or­i­tizes the well-being of the whole over indi­vid­ual desires, ensur­ing that mutu­al respect and coop­er­a­tion are main­tained in every aspect of life.

In terms of eco­nom­ics, Mars oper­ates based on prin­ci­ples that stark­ly con­trast with Earth’s com­pet­i­tive mar­ket-dri­ven sys­tems. Instead of mar­kets dri­ven by com­pe­ti­tion, prof­it, and scarci­ty, Mar­t­ian eco­nom­ics is found­ed on mutu­al ben­e­fit, with pro­duc­tion sys­tems and fac­to­ries designed sole­ly to meet the needs of the pop­u­la­tion. There is no rival­ry for resources, as every­thing is pro­duced in accor­dance with what is nec­es­sary for the well-being of the soci­ety as a whole. This eco­nom­ic sys­tem suc­ceeds because it is root­ed in the spir­i­tu­al under­stand­ing of the Mar­t­ian peo­ple, who pri­or­i­tize the col­lec­tive good over indi­vid­ual accu­mu­la­tion. Spir­i­tu­al advi­sors, with a pro­found under­stand­ing of the divine, guide the peo­ple on how best to align their actions with uni­ver­sal truths. Their role is cru­cial, ensur­ing that both indi­vid­ual and com­mu­nal well-being are main­tained, which par­al­lels ancient Earth tra­di­tions where spir­i­tu­al fig­ures served as guides for the wel­fare of the com­mu­ni­ty. These advi­sors act like prophets, draw­ing on divine wis­dom to shape the day-to-day func­tion­ing of Mar­t­ian soci­ety.

On Mars, the soci­etal mod­el not only applies to the polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic aspects but also affects the way in which indi­vid­u­als approach dai­ly life and rela­tion­ships. The absence of polit­i­cal sys­tems and eco­nom­ic com­pe­ti­tion cre­ates a utopi­an envi­ron­ment where indi­vid­u­als live in har­mo­ny, not just with each oth­er, but also with the envi­ron­ment. There is no strug­gle for dom­i­nance, and no need for indi­vid­u­als to fight for pow­er or influ­ence, as every­one is con­sid­ered equal in terms of both val­ue and con­tri­bu­tion. This har­mo­nious soci­ety func­tions as a liv­ing exam­ple of what can be achieved when indi­vid­u­als and com­mu­ni­ties align with uni­ver­sal prin­ci­ples, where love, self­less­ness, and spir­i­tu­al aware­ness form the foun­da­tion of all actions. The Mar­tians live as a cohe­sive unit, deeply inter­con­nect­ed with one anoth­er, with no divi­sion based on social stand­ing or wealth. This uni­fied approach to life shows that when a soci­ety func­tions in accor­dance with spir­i­tu­al laws and mutu­al respect, pros­per­i­ty and peace are not only pos­si­ble but sus­tain­able.

In con­clu­sion, the absence of polit­i­cal strug­gles and eco­nom­ic dis­par­i­ty on Mars high­lights a soci­ety where coop­er­a­tion, spir­i­tu­al matu­ri­ty, and mutu­al respect are para­mount. The Mar­tians’ abil­i­ty to live with­out the divi­sive­ness often caused by polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic con­flict shows that it is pos­si­ble for a soci­ety to flour­ish with­out these strug­gles. Their exam­ple serves as a reflec­tion of the ide­al that spir­i­tu­al align­ment, love, and shared respon­si­bil­i­ty can lead to a peace­ful and pros­per­ous soci­ety. Mars’ sys­tem of self-reg­u­la­tion with­out gov­ern­ment inter­fer­ence pro­vides a pow­er­ful cri­tique of Earth’s cur­rent polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic sys­tems, urg­ing humans to recon­sid­er their approach to gov­er­nance, resource allo­ca­tion, and soci­etal devel­op­ment. The peace­ful, har­mo­nious life of the Mar­tians offers a glimpse into a future where Earth might embrace sim­i­lar val­ues, align­ing its polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic prac­tices with uni­ver­sal prin­ci­ples of love, spir­i­tu­al­i­ty, and mutu­al respect. This vision invites the pos­si­bil­i­ty of a more con­nect­ed and har­mo­nious world, tran­scend­ing the lim­i­ta­tions that cur­rent­ly divide human soci­eties.
