Never ceases to crack me up when conservatives try to downplay the politics of Star Trek. Like, it’s about a socialist society written by a self ID’d communist. There’s the episode in TNG when they fetch a rich guy out of stasis and Picard has to gently explain to him that the economy his wealth was part of doesn’t exist anymore.

I mean, Roddenberry definitely had a lot of issues but he was always clear about his views on political economy.
