Hi there, I’m not trying to start a political argument or anything, I’m just curious what people here think about this often repeated claim that the Federation is a socialist or even communist utopia? I know Strange New Worlds did say in dialogue it is socialist but I was wondering if people here think that’s accurate? I’m not a communist or a marxist or anything like that, but I’ve had people who identify as such tell me the Federation basically is communist. So anyway, what’s your thoughts?
Communist states had/have large militaries so I guess that’s not a problem
“Communist” states also aren’t very communist.
Why not?
Read a history book. So far communism is a theoretical concept. Never has been achieved. And all the attempts didn’t even get close.
