No socialism period. Anything to do with Marx is off my list. Every socialistic movement or government attempted and put in power has started with mass casualties, followed by mass imprisonment, executions, then a fall back to a Capitalist Democracy or Parliament every time. Greed is the single human condition that can’t be removed, even with giving everything or giving a bullet. Of course in a sense of a socialism, Gene Roddenberry has one of the best ideas for a society. But it takes money to be removed as a factor plus the desire of one to have more than others. “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.” In that everyone gets this. In Star Trek, Replicators provide the ability to get around things by “atomically” providing all or anything anyone could want. So since Everything is fully available, it makes greed boring, outside original antiques.
