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.
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.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with post scarcity utopian idealism, we just aren’t at the post scarcity part yet
Reminds me of when I got blocked from /r/socialism for “Western imperialist apologia”
What did I say that was so spicy?
I called N Korea a failed little junta state.
That was literally the entire comment.
Star Trek is fully automatic gay space communism.
It’s not socialist adjacent.
Counterpoint: Riker.
