I think if enough people got together,bought a few islands and started a new society that would be great.
Whether the establishment in the already organized society would allow it is another thing altogether.
The powers that be wouldn't want the wider population seeing that there's is a better,fairer way.

@Entwistle That idea goes back to Jules Verne. If you prefer, the pirate islands of Bermuda. And before that, the Mayfair run to America.. It always ends the same way. And into time I am sure the Martian Federation will have the same ideas...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I think it depends upon the values of the colonizers. Take different values than greed, exploitation..teach them to the next generation and so on..people aren't destined to make the same mistakes..as a whole.

@Entwistle I accept that the motives of the original settlers may be pure. Its the next wave or second generation who just have to "make a few improvements."😷
