If you don’t want to start a political argument, that’s not the way to do it.
Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist?
MrSaturn@startrek.website 3 months agoYeah I’m not a communist primarily because I’m against dictatorship and human rights abuse but socialism sounds more interesting

From a Marxist perspective, all class-based societies are governed by dictatorships:
Right now, we live in the Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie

You literally just don’t know what you’re talking about

Because I’m not a Marxist? Um ok lol

Given this thread is about whether or not the Federation is a communist or socialist society, Marxist definitions are the most useful, eh? Furthermore, I’d argue that the term Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie very accurately describes American (I’m an American) society, and does so regardless of one’s personal beliefs.

Well there are non Marxist socialist/communist models and systems but I take your point. I was just answering you because you responded to why I’m not a communist, that’s all
