good to hear that for a change, I'm hearing too many references to startrek as space communism

Technically speaking, that is the economic system being used in Star Trek for the UFP... They are a post-scarcity society, and have no use for capitalist methods.

Yes, but it's not communism, it's a type of socialistic democracy. You can voice opinions that aren't favorable to the government and other stuff.

Also don't they have credits? (or am i confusing with some other show?) I mean the show doesn't focus on that as much since the enterprise is military and the military is usually completely bankrolled by the government. So a technician or a red shirt doesn't have to pay for his meal or clothes it's all "military issued". (plus I think I remember they have allowances for use of the holodeck, but it's been a while since I watched TNG or DS9)

No, they don't have credits, except in Star Trek Online... Because an MMO with no currency is boring.

 

Technically speaking, Starfleet isn't a military per-se... More of a scientific and police armada. Think of them as AAA, the Red Cross, NASA and local police, all rolled into one.

 

Nobody anywhere has to pay for a meal (except on certain planets that have "issues") in the UFP. Replicators make that an obsolete concept in its entirety.

 

That holodeck thing is in place because you have to make reservations when you have a ship with over 1000 people on board, and only 16 holodecks. Planetside it's not as much of an issue, and most homes have their own holodecks. (or a few communal ones for apartments)

Another point is the klingons, they are part of the federation but still have noble hirearchies and priests and stuff

[kerdios]

but if it was communism there would be no priests , ie. it's not communism qed (jk)

> HEY WE HAVE PRIESTS AND STUFF TOO
what do you mean? are you saying you're a communist?

OK, now you're just spouting gibberish, calling the imperium of man a communist society
