Unintentionally based: The immoral merchant that only cares about S̶h̶e̶k̶e̶l̶s̶ Latinum exploiting degeneracy to pad his wallet
No I think that’s intended... this can easily be read in the “mUh crApiTaliSm” sense (automated gay luxury space communism and all)
Have you ever met, or even been made aware of, an anti-capitalist who walks the walk? No luxuries except those made by hand, no corporate goods, certainly nothing produced in Hollywood, buying strictly local, etc?

"Principled Leftists" are simply Useful Idiots that the Left will march into machine guns.
Leftists are only concerned with power, their establishment of principles (as far as they are concerned) can only be done once they've achieved total victory. And all actions are justified in getting to utopia.
This is why no one has murdered more Communists than Communists, and why Leftists invented a term for actually doing the shit they believe in on occasion: "praxis"
I hope you mean the hand of the Glorious People's Government, because private ownership is theft!
That’s the cool thing about Utopian Fantasy! Every time it was ever tried before, it was actually just fascism!
It's so much worse since he's such a reactionary character, from an explicitly villainous people in Roddenberry's mind.
"Rahm, I don't care if they have disgusting traditions about doing things with their butts. They already drink root-beer and let their women wear clothes. It's as disgusting as it can get."
