star trek is textually anti-capitalist but only sporadically socialist. tng explores the lib desire to believe liberal processes can lead to a post capitalist outcome. ds9 deconstructs this by exploring the material contradictions inherent in said vaguely liberal processes https://twitter.com/SPOCKFILMS/status/1380626649117511695

if you're reading this and somehow don't know me the context here is i think star trek and marxism are both good

the other context is that i think "long phone opinions" prompt is fundamentally asking for something different from "sword guy opinions" prompt. man fuck the sword guy.

ok my last addendum is i want you to look at my other deeply held trek conviction https://twitter.com/petersaysathing/status/1326999923737440272?s=19
