Having watched most of the series, there's a tonal shift from the earlier material into late TNG. And I'd rather take the Federation over what we've got happening now, too. Just pointing out the show's writers aren't necessarily Marxists just because they dunk on capitalism and want a moneyless society.

You’re definitely right with everything. Only thing I can add is that the show was probably forced to be “sanitized” due to gaining popularity.

But you are right with your conclusion.

Oh, almost definitely. I don't doubt there were communists working on Star Trek somewhere before the network "sanatized" it.
