@zens @GI_Jack @vortex_egg @tfb Excellent one, yes - Early TNG made a great point-to example for a particular type of leftist futurism (one that seemed to walk a line between the authoritarian leftism of starfleet, and the municipal federal post-scarcity libertarianism of the federation). Later expressions of Star Trek got more authoritarian and drifted into mere post-scarcity liberalism in some of the more modern shows, though.
