I liked Archer, I'd rank him up there with Kirk and Picard. Then again I havent seen the series in a long time, just bought the Blu Rays of it so I guess Ill rewatch it soon and see if I still think this

Well I'm a democratic socialist and def not a communist, so I guess there's the distinction.

Well I'm not for ending US hegemony so that doesn't sound appealing to me.

Yeah I doubt it personally, it doesn't seem to match anything ever reflected in Star Trek. But if you find it, do tell me!

I don't think that's what they were going with.

I don't like the implication that full communism is only possible after a zombie apocalypse though lol

Well I'm not a Marxist Leninist or anything like that, and neither is Star Trek ever promoting anything like that

In case you don't know, they explicitly use the term socialist to describe the Federation economy in SNW. I was wondering if ppl liked or hated it? I like it personally since it's not a dodge like "new world economy"
