Fiction Reveals What the Left Really Wants: Star Trek's Fascist Militarist Oligarchy

Join us in this comprehensive YouTube video as we delve deeply into the Star Trek universe to reveal the dystopian underbelly of the United Federation of Planets. Exploring key examples from the series, we present evidence suggesting that the Federation is not the utopian society it claims to be but rather a militaristic, nepotistic, and dictatorial regime. Contrasting it with the supposedly fascist but more ethical world of Starship Troopers, we uncover how the Star Trek universe may echo the darker aspirations of a progressive utopia. From power dynamics and replicator scarcity to AI extermination and systemic sexism, this analysis will change how you view Star Trek forever.

Malcolm Collins: Hello Simone. I'm excited to be here with you today. Today we are going to be doing an analysis of the Star Trek universe and we will be exploring, because this is something I long thought when I watched Star Trek stuff historically, and I've watched a lot of it. I had this feeling in the background, which is like.

This seems very dystopian and dark to me. Mm-hmm, but because I could never watch it all or search it all without ai, I thought maybe there's some counter examples against this. Yeah. I decided to dig very deep today.

And I am going to be bringing receipts that the federation in the Star Trek universe is a militarist fascist. Mostly dictatorship with a, a, they have an elected government, but it has virtually no real power. It, it's used, they have about the, the elected government in the Star Trek world has about as much power as the queen has in Britain.

Wow. Worse. It is a world where they, while they call it post scarcity, there actually is not a single instance in all of Star Trek cannon of a character that is not associated with the the Federation military saying that the Federation is a post scarcity society. Oh. So if you're in the military, it feels post scarcity?

Well, not, not, it feels you. Even it's a military dictatorship. It's like in North Korea where you ask somebody in the military has North Korea prosperous society and somebody in the military is gonna be like, north Korea's the most prosperous society. Everyone has three meals a day and they're happy as a clam.

Oh, dear. But, and, and we will go over that this military is not a meritocracy. It's incredibly nepotistic. We will go over instances that show that the military within the Star Trek universe is more nepotistic. Then literally any military on Earth today, except for some like African dictatorships.

Like the degree, just, just to give you an example of what I mean here we have an instance of a mother assigning a daughter to directly under her command on her ship. We are going. Be a decent number of Nepo babies in Star Trek. I thought it was just a button. Yeah. You have a Wesley K Crusher who is allowed on the command deck despite having no formal training.

But we love him, but we love him. He then rushed through Starlet Academy when we know a Frengi wasn't even allowed to apply. Oh. That without a separate So, so it, it's a, it's a systematically racist system as well.

In the latest season of Lower Deck, there was a really chilling episode, , in which a species had just been given replicators by the Federation and they were celebrating what they called post scarcity day, where they were. And I kid you not. Having all of their gold and jewels taken by the federation because they wouldn't quote unquote, need them anymore.

And the federation used all of that stuff to all their currency as well, despite the fact that the federation does use currency. , And so then the federation takes all this planet's gold and jewels and gives them to another species to a problem that they are having with them.

And you can say, well, the federation's original plan was to melt it down or destroy it. And I'm like, if that was the case, then why? Why was the planet forced to give all of this to the federation? Why not put it in a museum or something? Why did the federation take all of the planet's valuables? There is no explainable reason unless they were trying to prevent the planet from being able to trade with other species.

Now that the planet was dependent on them for the means of production.

And. What is really like ghoulish about this is we see this planet celebrating, like they're gonna have free access to the replicators that were given to them.

And yet we know the federation maintains strict control of the replicators. So clearly the federation has misled them

what this scene has strong vibes of is the ashen from SG one, which is this species that comes in, offers earth and other planets the opportunity to have longer lives, to stay young, longer to not get sick. But what they really do at the same time is sterilize them. So that they can replace them and use their planets any way they see fit, which is what the Federation is doing here, by giving them replicators and getting rid of every other way that they can produce things.

But by maintaining control of what can be produced and how much of it can be produced on the replicators, they have completely seized the means of production was in this planet.

And I would remind you, it is not the Federation civilian government that sees the means of production on the planet. It is their military star fleet because it is Star Fleet that controls who can use replicators for what and when. Apparently they just didn't tell anyone on this planet that.

SG1 Achen: do not underestimate what we offer we can put an end to disease, double the human lifespan. Provide the means to cross entire continents in a single step.

We offer Earth membership within the Aschen Confederation.

Now if I'm right, these are newspapers.

SG1: By the way, Bo,

would you read this aloud for me? I couldn't quite translate it. Of course, sterility.

We knew what you were planning while, and this just confirms it. Vaccine causes sterility. That was the headline. You wiped out most of the vum population and turned their entire world into farmland and do the same to earth.

Malcolm Collins: Mm-hmm. And we'll be contrasting it to the Regi who are not racist in this way. And they'll be like, well, the Regi are sexist.

And I'll be like, actually, we'll be challenging that as well. If you actually dig in to what is Canon within the world. The Federation is incredibly sexist. You have multiple instances of commanders forcing themselves on subordinates and facing no repercussions, forcing women within their crew to dress in scamy outfits.

And women disproportionately only really serving traditionally feminine roles, except in a few instances where they're commanders and they mostly f stuff up. Oh, and then as a cherry on the cake to all of this, and keep in mind all of this is happening with a genetic underclass. Mm-hmm. The federation has a genetic underclass where some people are born essentially illegal citizens.

Wait how, who. Anyone who has had any genetic alteration done to themselves or their ancestors

Sorry. This may not be obvious to people, but if you give somebody genetic modifications within one, , generation, those modifications will be inherited by their descendants. So it doesn't just make an underclass of the individual, but anyone who is born to that family.

Which means that the only real solution to these individuals from the federation's perspective is to forcibly sterilize them.

I'd also note here, and I think it's very telling that in very progressive coded shows like Star Trek genetic enhancement and trying to make humans better is seen very negatively. The obsession with genetic purity is really exclusive to progressive movements, , Whereas in conservative coded futures like say War Hammer 40 K, , it's seen very posit
