When considering the question of self-sufficiency (autarky) for space colonies, consider first just how well autarky has worked as an economic policy for anyone on Earth.

Then realize that you're asking about the possibility of pursuing a damn silly goal in the first place, and go consider something else.

I imagine a future society to be one centered around agrarian workshop communes connected by local rail networks with a self-governing population of 100-150 people. My rationale being that large-scale industry, while efficient, does not result in human work satisfaction or attention to detail. By more local production of food and goods, the needs of the community can be tailored by that community and their neighbors.

@Hhesterm The nationalistic and hawkish part of the Russian leadership is not opposed to against oligarch, banks or severing all ties with the west. An inward looking and isolated Russia would for them be the ideal scenario, a sovereign socioeconomic the end of ties with the west, the complete sovereignization of the elite and the substitution of everything possible. The sanctions have only boosted the position of the pro-war & revanchist fractions. 1/2

@hollybrigstocke @financialtimes has a strong & plausible attraction for security - the EU is a good (if uneven) example - even for medium sized countries has often been unworkable even in the medium term...

of course (as you would likely expect me to say) this is yet more evidence that was a myopic & wrong-headed response to UK's ongoing problems
