I think the author might know a lot about Star Trek but very little about North Korea. North Korea is a totalitarian state organized in a socialist way. It's sole purpose is to continue the Kim dynasty into the future against what it calls aggressive outside interference. Socialism might have been the primary goal of society in the 1950s under the first Kim, but now it's a military first society. It would be better to compare and contrast the Next Generation series with modern day North Korea in my opinion. However it's an excellent thought experiment. Thanks for posting! :)

Isn't Star Trek a military first society that arms space ships for "defensive" purposes? :)
Perhaps later it was military first although I can't find direct mention of it online. (Always open to correction of course) The Prime Directive would seem to prohibit most types of militarism at least in the earlier shows. I'm not quite as familiar with more recent shows though. :P
Did you ever watch the show? It explicitly states they are for EXPLORATION purposes and they only fire if fired on first. That's literally the definition of defensive.
Do you just prefer to avoid facts whenever you write posts?
Yeah, watched it many times actually, over and over again.
I did mention in the post that they claimed they were doing it for exploration purposes. Thing is, their actions showed otherwise. E.g deep space nine was not about exploration. Also the earth central ministry often has other plans and had to obey due to the militaristic nature.
Also. Elephant in the room. Defensive people don't need to wear uniforms. :)
Do you have it a mission to just rant against all my posts just because you lost a debate? It's kind childish to chase me around.
