Star Trek's original creator was a radical leftist/Marxist if I recall correctly. I never was a fan of Star Trek.

Fucking commies today face no real pushback and are supported by all the major institutions thus they get emboldened. The right needs to find a way to make commies afraid again.

Anyone who wants a very interesting and based epic story in space should check out the Legend of the Galactic Heroes anime instead of financially supporting this space communist Star Trek shit.

You're being a little unfair here. If you're going to judge a franchise by the views of its creator(s) then you're going to be left with basically theological literature and that's about it. I mean, you cite an anime with that standard? Japan is extremely collectivist. By choice, perhaps. But still. Hardly a compatable culture with Enlightenment Americanism.

Roddenberry may have been a dirty commie, but by and large it doesn't bleed into the show until the most recent woke trash they're shitting out. There's even an episode where Kirk recites the Preamble to the Constitution and the Pledge of Allegiance - complete with "Under God" - to help stop a war.

DS9 is very accidentally conservative. Espousing principles such as the value of the nuclear family, the value of religious faith, and patriotism in the face of infiltration from an insidious external foe. The Dominion is a breathtaking prediction of exactly how China is behaving towards the US twenty years before it started happening.

Star Trek on cancel culture

Star Trek on covid alarmism Really this whole two part episode teaches against the fear mongering that went into the lockdowns and the rest of the covid nonsense.

Stsr Trek making fun of Roddenberry's vision

Stsr Trek on abortion and also on the importance of continuing one's race

Star Trek on the government's role in how we raise our children

Star Trek showcasing how cognitive dissonance is used to manipulate people into conformity. Back ground on this one, the villain has been torturing the hero trying to make him say there are five lights when there are only four. He knows that by making the hero knowingly say an untruth, he can use that violation of ethics to extract further information. This is at the end ofthe episode when the Federation has found out that the hero is captured and negotiated his release. The villain tries one last time to bribe the hero with social status - all he has to do is say 2+2=5. This is exactly how leftists opperate.

Specifically Communists. Making dissenters espouse truths both parties know to be false, and both understand the other knows they are aware are false is right out of the Soviet handbook.

The leftist mentality is exemplified in the Prime Directive.

no interference with the social development of said planet, execpt if it doesn't look like a progressive democracy.

That's absolutely not a Leftist mentality. When have you ever seen a communist be against shitting up a place, democracy or otherwise?

That was a specific result of the anti-war and anti-colonial Zietgiest of the time.

And even in the original series, the Federation involved itself in some planets because the Klingons had no such ideology.

No. Roddenberry started out a Kennedy New Frontier guy. But as someone said, "Liberalism entered the '60s proud of its accomplishments. It left the '60s ashamed of them."

I always thought that post-scarcity BS began from that throw-away line in Star Trek IV: "Money... they still use that here."
