You’re safe to like or dislike any show, character, writer, showrunner or episode here.

So come and discuss the greatest sci-fi franchise in history free from rogue mods on power trip.

    There’s a difference between believing in communism and being a Communist. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

    As for Communist dog whistling in Season 1… Care to provide examples? Hard to refute something without examples.

    Trek overall though isn’t Communist. There are too many glaring inconcsistencies to claim the Federation as being Communist. It’s a post-scarcity socialism.

      Post scarcity socialism sure as shit sounds like Communism to me. In fact, one of the most important things when evolving from socialism to Communism is eliminating scarcity

        Right. “That’s actually the same as what I said because one of the words in what you said is partially relevant to what I said.”

        This conversation is pointless if you’re not going to subscribe to reality.

        Goodbye.

          You should learn what communism actually is. It’ll probably help with your arguments in the future. Read a book.
