      Maybe, but if capitalism does in fact rely on a pool of excess and disposable labor to keep bargaining power down, it's more likely that we'll have slums in space, tenement stations that capitalists will point to as evidence of the beneficence of the system and as an implicit warning to anyone thinking of asking for something beyond their station. Maybe earth will be the slum.
