I got to stop watching these and get some work done. Or start my own federation with blackjack and hookers.

    Nah, politics is fine. Communist propaganda like this meme is the real issue.

          How about a fully state-controlled economy?

          Not capitalism, since there’s no private capital; not communism, since there’s a state.

            Would that be like the world of Starship Troopers? 🤔

            The state provides everything… But only to those they want (in that case, citizens and you only get citizenship by being in the military for a while).

        Ok, anti-capitalist propaganda.

        Probably shouldn’t assumed, after all its not like theres a bunch of communists on lemmy, and communism isn’t the only alternative to capitalism.

      Star Trek, where… Federation = better vision of humanity = post capitalism. Ferengi = not depicted to be admirable = capitalists.

      Sure, the society depicted in Star Trek is basically post-scarcity luxury space communism so we do not need propaganda anymore, I agree.
