Well I'm not for ending US hegemony so that doesn't sound appealing to me.
Yeah I doubt it personally, it doesn't seem to match anything ever reflected in Star Trek. But if you find it, do tell me!
I don't think that's what they were going with.
Though apparently remains a capitalist according to Lower Decks.
I don't like the implication that full communism is only possible after a zombie apocalypse though lol
Well I'm not a Marxist Leninist or anything like that, and neither is Star Trek ever promoting anything like that
Yeah, I find it odd because its Hollywood doing these references which isn't exactly a left wing institution.
Ironically The Orville did that better by saying there are no prisons anymore in the Planetary Union.
Ah yeah socialism I guess is a less dirty word in those parts.
I thought socialism was social ownership, not welfare programs that exist under capitalism.
None of those quotes say private ownership of cars is gone. Cars aren't the means of production btw, so I don't even agree with SNW here.
The same episode says private ownership of things like cars no longer exists in the future, so it's clearly a description of the economy. I agree its almost a dismissal though, which is why I prefer The Orville's treatment of the no money post scarcity economy more.
Where are you if I may ask? And I think it may have been a dictate of Gene Roddenberry to not name which economic system won out, which is kind of a copout. But yeah it's refreshing to see it called what it is finally
And it just seems accurate, at least with definitions of socialism I've read and studied
In case you don't know, they explicitly use the term socialist to describe the Federation economy in SNW. I was wondering if ppl liked or hated it? I like it personally since it's not a dodge like "new world economy"
Just curious as I want to rewatch some overlooked episodes from each of the series out so far.
