Historical materialism through the Star Trek lens
As the years went by and I watched ever more Star Trek, combined with the enlightenment of Marxism, I came to the conclusion that a similar societal way, historical determinism, was described by Marx and others. The Federation and its ideology are socialist by nature.
Observing the federation through a realistic picture of the possible progress of humanity, we will assume that the universe and our environment are capable of supporting life outside the Earth. At the moment of our enlightenment with this information, humanity will find itself at a turning point. Abolish the self-destructive economic hierarchy of the world, destroy the social constructs that keep us in shackles, or remain just one broken world of semi-sapient monkeys.
The idea of the Federation, in my opinion, is the perfect idea of the end of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the beginning of a classless society, and the beginning of a communist utopia. The very assumption that a classless society begins with
It's like when Croats or Serbs or Bosniaks here in Yugoslavia praise the Nazis and how they would be nazis and better of if Germany had won. They forget that they were up the list on the genocide chopping block right after the Jews and Romani. Slavs were never intended to survive the "arianisation" of Europe.
All of the Balkans do that too. Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia have open nazis and fascists serving and commanding their militaries. Croats after the Ustaše, Bosniaks too. Serbs on the other hand glorify the Chetniks, rehabilitate mass murderers and anti-communist war criminals (rehabilitated Nikola Kalabic a few days ago as we speak). There is no city in Bosnia that has not got a street, school or sport club named after a Ustaša, or a Chetnik or a Bosniak radical muslim fascist. That doesn't only happen in Ukraine. Greece, Bulgaria, Romania they all do it too.
