That trends in the popular science fiction renditions implicate communistic practices as the preferred governmental orchestration?? On an additional observation: one can note that the military-industrial-complex which had been forebodingly mentioned by the Eisenhower Administration and has consequently necessitated much more of an evident decline in our nuclear family structure... perhaps these circumstantiated phenomenons share some kind of a common ground???
SF is good at inspiring future generations, but the intergalactic super government couldn't function.
just look at the ussr, the horrid conditions in china, the nightmare of N Korea and the decline of the eu.
big governments fail
Your reply makes me think these larger governmental installations conform to our prevailing understanding of the molecular biosciences; regarding cellular efficiency, where the surrounding membrane must be of compact volume so that it can protect internal contents. As the cell chemically interacts with its habituated surroundings, nutrient diffusion takes place over faster rates...
In this way bigger political regimes must fail at the level of organismal specialization?? From this analogy concerning microscopic subatomic scales, the lower stratas of any collective hierarchy can't fulfill necessary stipulations and are shoved outside such an abodic sphere. In that monarchistic deployments are often centrally localized and can't encompassingly accommodate all of the(ir) dwelled civilians. By the way, took me some time to work out this idea; so it may be hard to grasp at first.
