Would there still be room for Orionauts if they didn't buy into the
political philosphy but liked everything else that defined
Orionauts. Would there be a revolution? Would the political system
have been formed at the outset or have developed into
libertarianism?

What would happen if it started as libertarianism and spun out of
control? Could the true believers let go of their nirvana and adopt
a new system? Kind of like the true communists who are skulking
around in Russia. What are they to do now that the revolution has
failed?
