A lot of fiction popular with shitlibs is heavily reactionary. Even Star Trek has a lot of reactionary ideas, with the officers being nobles and Captains the Lords of their respective ships.
I think that's the main way the left sells their ideas to right-wingers: they tell them that if they adopt leftist ideas they'll get to live in some high-functioning pure meritocratic hierarchy. Then in practice what we get instead is "you can't have high-school graduation requirements for English and Algebra, or assign students a 'D' or 'F' grade".
I get a kick out of the 'muh space communism' crowd. By virtue of its TV show nature, ST depicts a world where lullabies, idioms, family structures, values, and ideals have been perfectly preserved for three hundred years. It's the definition of small-c conservative.
That's how they convinced the public to open up immigration. "It will be meritocratic and we will only let in the people who deserve to come here."
Meanwhile they will let in anybody and their family who can secure a work visa for a traitorous multinational company.
The Federation only works because of the Prime Directive. If they didn't have that they'd be doing the same thing we do: constantly try to fix broken civilizations (and usually end up making them worse in the process) and import people from those civilizations who want to instantly jump ahead in time 300 years without putting in the work.
