It depends on how you define it, we were a servant-merchant caste population that broke free, tried a really bad non-federalized system, then went with what we have today, we're not old enough to honestly be in same comparison.

I suppose you could define the pre- and post- civil war governments since effectively the same shadow cabal playing puppet show since 1865 but the pieces are more or less the same, the ones with hands on lever just changed.

We've replaced the slave class a few times but we're more or less the same. We like to think we've changed but democrats are still fighting for their slaves, and republicans are still letting their leaders get shot, and now that I think about it, history is rhyming so well its probably written by george lucas as a stand in for hilarity of bad things keep happening over and over again.

I was digressing quite badly back there, so to some up, a new starship troopers reboot that hews closely to the book is going to go very badly because the original is weirdly iconic despite its creators tripping over themselves into a apoplectic pretzel trying to run away from intellectual reality.
