Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.
Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.
So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?
Popular, geeky, and leftist. That last one likely resonates with a large part of the communist/socialist community we have here on Lemmy.
It certainly does for Lemmy dev Dessalines, seeing how they’re responding on this thread too.
A future without money, where peace, feminism and diversity rule? Yes, leftist ☺️
Yeah try searching for “star trek socialism” on YT or wherever, you’d be surprised.
But apart from the series specifically there is at least some theorizing that space exploration is only possible after capitalism has been abolished since the energy and cooperation alone required to make it work on a meaningful scale is not possible under capitalism. We need the unleashing of productive forces that only communism can provide.
Aaaaaaand of course there are the Posadists. Google them for a good chuckle!
