The latest episode of Strange New Worlds has a character (rather loudly) describe the Federation as Socialist (lemmygrad.ml)

Just sharing this info because it feels good to see it acknowledged.

I've never understood how someone could watch almost 60 years of Star Trek, in some cases multiple times, and not pick up on the clearly leftist themes within the show. Those people are out there though! When Discovery was first airing you'd see these people crawl out of the floorboards to piss and moan about the black lead character, or the gay characters, like Trek wasn't trying to teach you inclusivity, empathy, and anti-capitalist/anti-imperialist ideals this whole time.
