I dont know if you could call them communist. They say they dont use money in the future and i guess if you have a replicator that can make you food & drinks, you really dont need to work. Of course everyone wants to work because the more work you do, the more credits they will give you to use that sweet holodeck! People will work 18 hours a day to get 30 minutes in that holodeck, i think.
No, its a collective, otherwise that replicator would just be a vending machine in your home with royalties or simply cost for item pricing. If it were free that'd be redistribution of wealth. The future can't help but have a more enlightened population than what we have today. I'd love to cryogenics myself 1000 years into the future.
Hereâs a bit of Star Trek trivia. Roddenberry used to hang out downstate in Ossining with a group doing research into human psychic abilities. They used a specially modified faraday cage to run experiments with distant viewing, channeling, psychic healing and communication. Thereâs plenty written on the subject. I just googled this up. The group was the source of Roddenberrys Deep Space Nine and 7of9. reference. Read it through Roddenberry is prominently mentioned about half way in. You will see where he got his info. If you think about our current research into placing chips in humans and who controls that, and then think about the Borg and the new world order I donât think I would like to be here in a thousand years. If you do any research into energy production from alternate sources and I donât mean wind or solar you will usually run into the same names. Iâm into electrical and hydrogen generation. These guys came up with some good ideas and were granted patents on their inventions, aside from the other stuff they were into. http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/council_of_nine_fortean.htm
I never cared for the Star Trek knockoffs, Next Generation etc except for Star Trek Enterprise which is worth watching. It is set in 2150 about 200 years before Kirk. Really hot Vulcan girl on it.
