Communists? Nah, not a problem. I mean I’m a Star Trek fan, and while it’s not played up that much the Federation is a post-scarcity socialist-adjacent society. I’m all for everyone having their basic needs met without condition or obligation, and money being obsolete.

Tankies though can fuck right off. North Korea is not a bastion of democracy. China is not more free than the US. This is not difficult to see.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with post scarcity utopian idealism, we just aren’t at the post scarcity part yet

Star Trek is fully automatic gay space communism.

It’s not socialist adjacent.

Counterpoint: Riker.

Look, I know the Federation doesn’t have money, but they probably brought it back just to charge Riker for all the extra cleanup required every time he visited the holodeck.
