    The idea of the borg feel more like “hey, the federation sounds suspiciously like communism that works, can’t we introduce “evil communism” to show how evil it is”?

        Sounds probable judging from the stories of the writers fighting Roddenberry’s story mandates. And as soon as he was dead, they did the infiltrating founders anyway on DS9.

          that episode was wierd, since everyone thought there was a followup. because they send the big bad signal to the delta quadrant which indicates they were from there about to invade, the queen that was controlling the host had the "map of sectors in the background, which i was taken to say he was sending it there). later replaced by the borg which did the same thing.
