star trek meta
their economy basically doesn't exist (probably because of replicators tbh) but they regularly go on about duty this and that.
this means they're probably one of the only instances of a communist that isn't driven by strict utilitarian arguments

Star Trek isn't communism. I really wish people would get that through their thick skull.

That's not what makes communism though. A lack of private property makes communism, and we know people still have their own property and businesses.
Picard has a vineyard, and Cisco's father having a restaurant are the easiest examples.

Also, they absolutely have money. Federation credits are a thing.
re: star trek meta
the money is for foreign exchange.

Are you really gonna stick with the "I heard it somewhere that it's communism so trust me it's communism" take, with money being your only defense? Cause I've heard a more compelling argument that Star Trek is fascism, that the this low iq take.

At some point, everybody deserves it.
