    I literally stated how it’s not Marxist… I’m pretty sure that I even proved it in my statement originally.

    Marxist communism envisions a classless, stateless society where the means of production are communally owned. Post-scarcity could theoretically contribute to this, but Marxist thought emphasizes the historical process of class struggle and the eventual dissolution of the state. If a government still exists in your scenario, it may not fully align with Marx’s final stage of communism, which predicts the state “withering away.”

    How do you read this and go no it is Marxist I’m right.

      Again this is because Marx was concerned with reality. Science Fiction wasn’t even a genre to speak of in his lifetime. He might have considered non-violent tech driven communism had that been remotely conceivable at the time but during his time electrical power was rare.

      Marx was a huge influence on Roddenberry’s views of The Federation.
