Oh they do just later after Earth's climate situation is stabilized. They make moves into space initially for pure exploration but also to counter the growing capitalist space colonies and prevent them from controlling high orbital, Earth-Moon system, and the inner planets.

and they allow revolutionary youth to join up with the space capitalists with the deliberate intent of fomenting revolution and organizing.

i really need to get to writing this just need more time outlining and read some more sci-fi to get my writing skills back.

the reactionary elite think she's going to be a future Lenin-like figure and I have no doubt she'll be dealt with (or at least they will try to).

i mean Thiel has been screaming about her being the anti-christ or some unhinged nonsense. the ruling class is not doing well

been working on some speculative fiction lately and my near future scenario is basically "Earth does world socialist government, material conditions improve for all over a generation, huge baby boom as people have hope again".

then the capitalists that fled into space to scrape by try to lure off some of that boomer generation with promises of adventure and fun (more like indentured servitude, being worked to death, and radiation poisoning). colonies come into being, followed by worker revolutions, rinse and repeat

seems like the only viable way for interstellar colonization to even happen

i thought chuds were supposed to be gun experts

really interesting because my partner and I were doing some worldbuilding and came up with something like this! we had two methodologies: one was for artificial life which involved exactly what you describe; starting with a deep, complex simulation sped up by asteroid-sized computers that start from scratch. after you have an artificial life model the AI basically had to be bound to a human at birth and "grow up" and learn with them, essentially developing in parallel as an artificial sibling while they exist in a symbiotic relationship. this becomes a cultural norm, and ties artificial life to humanity as a familial relation. (this was a far future society where single child households were the norm)
