The kicker is that Rom eventually becomes Grand Nagus and starts transforming Ferengi society.

I know! Who would’ve guessed watching him in DS9 S1 (Quark’s doofus whipping boy passing down the abuse to Nog) that he would have one of the most low-key amazing character arcs of the series?

Though apparently remains a capitalist according to Lower Decks.

Or it’s a glimpse at Nog’s Dengist arc

Saw this episode for the first time two days ago and loved everything about it. Especially the inqusition of anti-union Ferengi, that is the FCA, captured the violence of capitalist oppression , both direct and threat thereof, beautifully.
I also liked the subtle points being made, like Odo being against the strike on basis of upholding law and order, even though this should contradict his moral compass in my opinion.

I dunno, Odo’s morals are very much tied to his need to maintain control and appearances. Yes, that aligns perfectly with his shapeshifting ability 🙂
