Comment on Was it a good thing that SNW explicitly said the Federation is socialist?
Corgana@startrek.website 1 week agoIt bugs me that you’re being downvoted because you’re correct that modern descriptors don’t apply.

Yeah I’m not out here saying socialism is bad. I consider myself quite left of center. But it’s like… they have literal magic. The words we use to describe different ways of allocating resources do not apply to them. They don’t have an economy. An economy is a system of logistics and trade for moving scarce things to the people who want those things. Everyone and their dog has a transporter and a replicator. Logistics and resource allocation are irrelevant. Why would anyone trade anything for anything else if they have infinite everything?
