CHAPTER VI — Trade and Barter are Unknown in Mar­t­ian soci­ety, the con­cepts of trade and barter are non-exis­tent. Instead, Mar­tians fol­low a mod­el of col­lec­tive coop­er­a­tion, where the pro­duc­tion and dis­tri­b­u­tion of goods serve the needs of the entire com­mu­ni­ty rather than ben­e­fit­ing indi­vid­ual prof­it. This sys­tem allows for a more har­mo­nious and equi­table dis­tri­b­u­tion of resources, where neces­si­ties such as food, cloth­ing, and oth­er essen­tial items are pro­vid­ed based on the com­mu­ni­ty’s col­lec­tive needs, not the finan­cial stand­ing of indi­vid­u­als. In this way, every Mar­t­ian con­tributes to the soci­ety in a way that ensures the well-being of all its mem­bers, cre­at­ing a bal­anced and just exis­tence where the pres­sures of greed and com­pe­ti­tion, often seen on Earth, are absent. By focus­ing on mutu­al well-being, Mar­tians live in a soci­ety free from the inequal­i­ties and ten­sions caused by prof­it-dri­ven eco­nom­ic mod­els, where every indi­vid­ual plays a part in sus­tain­ing the greater whole.

The orga­ni­za­tion­al struc­ture of Mar­t­ian indus­tries encour­ages spe­cial­iza­tion but with­out the com­pet­i­tive dri­ve that defines Earth­’s eco­nom­ic sys­tems. The cli­mate and geo­graph­i­cal con­di­tions of Mars dic­tate what each region pro­duces, from raw mate­ri­als to food­stuffs, allow­ing for the effi­cient and prac­ti­cal use of resources based on the envi­ron­ment. The cru­cial dif­fer­ence between Earth and Mars, how­ev­er, is that the moti­va­tion behind this spe­cial­iza­tion is not mate­r­i­al wealth but the spir­i­tu­al con­nec­tion with the greater good, or what Mar­tians call the “Father’s will.” This spir­i­tu­al ful­fill­ment ensures that the Mar­t­ian econ­o­my oper­ates not for indi­vid­ual gain, but for the bet­ter­ment of all, fos­ter­ing a coop­er­a­tive envi­ron­ment where the focus is on what each indi­vid­ual can offer to the col­lec­tive com­mu­ni­ty rather than on what they can acquire. The focus on spir­i­tu­al align­ment over mate­r­i­al wealth is a fun­da­men­tal dis­tinc­tion between Mar­t­ian soci­ety and Earth­’s, where the pur­suit of rich­es often leads to soci­etal divi­sion and strife.

Trans­porta­tion on Mars is an impres­sive feat of advanced tech­nol­o­gy, vast­ly supe­ri­or to any­thing on Earth. Mar­tians uti­lize fly­ing ships pow­ered by prin­ci­ples that manip­u­late grav­i­ta­tion­al forces, allow­ing for effort­less and lim­it­less trav­el across the plan­et. These ships, and the goods they car­ry, are not con­strained by grav­i­ty, unlike Earth’s trans­porta­tion sys­tems, which depend on tra­di­tion­al vehi­cles and infra­struc­ture. The use of Cos­mic or Uni­ver­sal Ener­gy as the pri­ma­ry source of propul­sion hints at an under­stand­ing of ener­gy that Earth has yet to explore. This form of trans­porta­tion is cru­cial to the Mar­t­ian society’s coop­er­a­tive sys­tem, enabling the smooth and rapid dis­tri­b­u­tion of goods through­out the plan­et. Unlike Earth’s reliance on fos­sil fuels and envi­ron­men­tal­ly harm­ful meth­ods, Mars has evolved an effi­cient, envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly sys­tem that reflects their under­stand­ing of energy’s deep­er, cos­mic ori­gins.

The infra­struc­ture on Mars is anoth­er crit­i­cal aspect of their soci­ety. Vast ware­hous­es and depots are spread across the plan­et to store the goods pro­duced by their indus­tries, ensur­ing that resources are avail­able wher­ev­er need­ed. These cen­ters of dis­tri­b­u­tion are man­aged by skilled work­ers who main­tain the sup­ply chain, ensur­ing that every Mar­t­ian has access to the items they need. The process is seam­less and effi­cient, with no need for cur­ren­cy or trade, as every­thing is allo­cat­ed based on the needs of the com­mu­ni­ty rather than on indi­vid­ual wealth or bar­ter­ing. Mar­tians can walk into any dis­tri­b­u­tion cen­ter and receive the items they require with­out delay, show­cas­ing the prac­ti­cal­i­ty and suc­cess of a sys­tem that works on coop­er­a­tion and shared respon­si­bil­i­ty. This con­trasts stark­ly with Earth’s sys­tem, where trade and mon­ey are the dri­ving forces behind dis­tri­b­u­tion, often lead­ing to inequal­i­ty and waste.

The Mar­t­ian eco­nom­ic and social sys­tems offer a stark con­trast to Earth’s. By plac­ing the col­lec­tive good above indi­vid­ual wealth and embrac­ing a mod­el of coop­er­a­tion, Mars has cre­at­ed a soci­ety where every individual’s needs are met, and no one is left behind. Their focus on spir­i­tu­al align­ment, respect for the envi­ron­ment, and tech­no­log­i­cal advance­ment offers a glimpse into a future where Earth might evolve towards greater equal­i­ty and com­mu­nal har­mo­ny. Mars presents an ide­al where eco­nom­ic sys­tems are inte­grat­ed with spir­i­tu­al prin­ci­ples, allow­ing for a civ­i­liza­tion where every­one works togeth­er towards a com­mon goal of peace and pros­per­i­ty. This soci­ety func­tions with­out the need for com­pe­ti­tion or greed, show­ing a pos­si­ble path for­ward for human­i­ty to embrace a more con­nect­ed, com­pas­sion­ate, and sus­tain­able future.
