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

Except that we are but the capitalists still have you fooled. Any scarcity has been completely fabricated for decades now.

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.
