In case you don’t know, they explicitly use the term socialist to describe the Federation economy in SNW. I was wondering if ppl liked or hated it? I like it personally since it’s not a dodge like “new world economy”

    Yeah that’s my point. As soon as they no longer had access to the magical impossible logistics network of virtually free energy, they immediately regressed to capitalism with a side order of martial law.

      I don’t think what they were doing in the Delta Quadrant would meet many (good) definitions of “capitalism.”

      And it’s difficult to say how “martial law” could be imposed on a command structure that was already militaristic.
