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

Well I’m a democratic socialist and def not a communist, so I guess there’s the distinction.

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

I dont believe in communism so Im not really concerned with that

Well I’m not for ending US hegemony so that doesn’t sound appealing to me.

Yeah I doubt it personally, it doesn’t seem to match anything ever reflected in Star Trek. But if you find it, do tell me!

I didn’t like any of the new Star Wars movies, so probably not a good sign

I don’t think that’s what they were going with.

Perhaps lol

Though apparently remains a capitalist according to Lower Decks.

I don’t like the implication that full communism is only possible after a zombie apocalypse though lol

Well I’m not a Marxist Leninist or anything like that, and neither is Star Trek ever promoting anything like that

Where did you read this?

He was a Maoist?

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.

I thought socialism was social ownership, not welfare programs that exist under capitalism.

Based

Star Wars?

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.
