moneyless socialist utopia

I mean, we all know that’s what it is, but I’m pretty sure that’s the first time they’ve said it straight out in universe. And then the plot reminds of it several times as that very thing is put in danger.

    I was more irked that she said the Federation did good throughout the Galaxy. The Federation has always been limited to this Quadrant. Romulans to the left of me, Klingons to the right. The entire premise of Voyager and DS9 was a wormhole to other parts of this galaxy, neither of which have taken place yet. Even the Borg have not spread to other Galaxies yet that I know of.

      “The writing of the newer Trek series constantly contradicts the idea that the Federation has a moral high ground, let alone is an actually socialist society, or that there is any kind of political, let alone revolutionary ideal in the writing room other than “yass diversity”.”

      Yeah I agree. I mean Picard even said that money existed again in the Federation (until I guess they said it didn’t in the third season, very confusing) and PIC/DIS/Lower Decks all say the replicators are crap. Actually DIS even said it is basically forcing Starfleet officers to eat their own recycled shit!
