On Mars - history will repeat itself?

In a direct democracy, people who find themselves in the minority could have a pretty tough time. Leaders would still emerge (it's in human nature, powered by serotonin) by influencing and driving group-think. A Gandhi or Mother Theresa type of absolute ruler might represent everyone's interests more fairly than a democracy.

Yes but there's a difference between proclaimed leader having a power of decision making and an influencer who leads by example and inspiration. Like the same E. Musk, he doesn't influence politics directly, but influence by example and actions. About minorities - I think it would depend on a level of global consciousness (which is influenced, among other things, by important figures). A lot of people support minorities in a contemporary western societies, therefore they would think about them before voting for something. Direct democracy would give a truly decentralized power and then it would only depend on global intelligence and conscience what we would end up with. Each individual becomes responsible for himself as well as others in decision making. To make things simpler there could be subsegments of alike minded people living in different systems that reflect their priorities, but there would be no centralized government - this sounds nice for me, but it's subjective what's nice:)
