The Red Scare is still working it's magic I see. I don't think many people think that communism is the perfect system. Even the ones who support it. It's just that after living in a capitalist hellhole our whole lives and watching the world burn, some of those ideas start to look like they are worth trying.

Star Trek is a good example of what the endgame of communism is supposed to look like. It's just the process of getting there that is hard to figure out.

Star Trek is an example of a post scarcity society. I worry about persisting military rank instead of a horizontal power structure.
