    The books go a lot more into the politics and at one point the crew basically does a syndicalism when deciding how to organize their business as a mercenary crew. Anarchists do an adventurism and mars as a USSR allegory suffers an existential crisis due to material conditions outside their control in the latter books. They're pretty good for sci-fi written by libs. Earth is a shithole where most people subsist on meager UBI and massive sea walls hold back the ocean because capitalism still exists and of course we didn't solve climate change.
