The humans are not workers. They're on a luxury cruise. This society has the aesthetics of capitalism, but the substance isn't there. The substance was probably there for the first 5 years, the original passengers were probably bourgeois leaving the workers on earth. But the society transitioned out of capitalism with nobody noticing. They still have capitalist ads, but they don't mean anything. It's a cargo cult trying to mimic capitalism and failing.
Capitalism is not heading towards a society where nobody has to work, everyone's basic needs are met, and longevity is doubled. The Axiom is a noblebright future far better than what we are destined for.
Fair point, I like the analogy to cargo cults. Still, one person's hell is another's heaven.
I hope we end up with a far better future, but I find that hope fading slowly as time goes on.
