Wow. I recently saw this video about Star Trek Federative of Planets being fascist.
Like Ayn Rand said, communism and fascism are two thugs fighting for the same flag: collectivism.
No matter under what light you see it, you can see
- the centralized government
- the federation as the only source of civilization...
- every Star Trek story is told from the point of view of the federation itself... biased...
- the Fed seems to be the main employer
- the Fed is the provider of all justice
- there seems to be no no privacy since your every move and conversation is monitored
- there is no money, and you now: no money equals disctatorship
... and so on.
Great post that made think deeper in this funny subject.
Thanks @sansoncarrasco, for the insightful comment. The Fed as provider of justice slipped past me, but you're right. Another centralized theme in the series......How about live long and disobey?
Long live and DISOBEY!!!!
That's great, by the way, as a weird fact, here in Venezuela a governor-elected took his oath using the vulcan salute:
