Sorry for lack of updates, a lot has come up in life. I am going to make a post later today about the first season of "new" Doctor Who that I did indeed finally watch. TLDR: I liked it a lot but I'll go more into detail later today

Well I'm not a Marxist Leninist or anything like that, and neither is Star Trek ever promoting anything like that
Yeah, I find it odd because its Hollywood doing these references which isn't exactly a left wing institution.
Ironically The Orville did that better by saying there are no prisons anymore in the Planetary Union.
Ah yeah socialism I guess is a less dirty word in those parts.
I thought socialism was social ownership, not welfare programs that exist under capitalism.
None of those quotes say private ownership of cars is gone. Cars aren't the means of production btw, so I don't even agree with SNW here.
The same episode says private ownership of things like cars no longer exists in the future, so it's clearly a description of the economy. I agree its almost a dismissal though, which is why I prefer The Orville's treatment of the no money post scarcity economy more.
I liked Archer, I'd rank him up there with Kirk and Picard. Then again I havent seen the series in a long time, just bought the Blu Rays of it so I guess Ill rewatch it soon and see if I still think this
