One thing I noticed about Star Trek is that there are hidden messages. I think they were trying to show a world where socialism and communism has been reinvented and it worked. For instance, Warf (the Clingon) has a sickle shaped sword and he sleeps with his sword hanging on the wall. It looks like a hammer and sickle to me. Commander Ryker mentioned a few times that Money doesn't exist so the Star ship costs nothing, it is built with cooperation and voluntary labour. There are replicators in the ship that can make anything they want, food, drink devices so people don't need to buy anything.
A canister of Hydrogen can power the ship for a lifetime because they have a Hydrogen Fusion reactor that creates nuclear fusion energy. There are several hundred canisters so they have all the power they will ever need. The smaller ships also have nuclear reactors and hydrogen canisters so even they can keep going.
There is Holodecks on the ship so people can walk around in a rigid illuminated hologram that is so life like that it is like going to a real place. They don't need to go on holiday.
The world I saw in star trek is a world without money and people work for free, technology makes everything so cheap that socialism can work as long as people contribute a voluntary effort and cooperate.
I do wonder...
