Gene Roddenberry may have created "Star Trek" as his fictitious version of the future but it evolved over the years into what the individual viewer wants it deep within his or her's id to be. The cannon of the Star Trek Universe has been squeezed and stretched into so many directions with the various series and films that one can serve up shredded boiled Tribble and call it Gagh BUT you cannot make it really squirm unless your supper guest agrees and slurps it down.
It is like the Prime Directive, the supreme law that cannot be broken but is repeatedly broken, bent and stapled in just about every conceivable way known to man and Q. Otherwise, the Star Trek Universe and everyone in it would be as boring as real Marxism/Communism/Socialism would be if ever it came to pass.
So, what the Great Bird of the Galaxy invented is not just his version but rather the results of what passed through multitudes of filters by writers, editors, directors, producers, censors, suits from the network and finally fans.
Get to point, Bender. I've a date with a Doomsday Machine... 
and no time to dawdle!
Okay, Matt, fellow campers, to cut to the chase... 
whatever anyone says about the Marxist/Communist/Socialist/Whateverist utopia Roddeenberry was aiming for, the original James T, Kirk would kick it in the balls with a full bank of phasers.
And that... 
is good enough for me--
And for me as well... 
Right on, Barack! You made me what I am... 
your always faithful supporter, Julia!
Is it just me here in Spain, the wine or my perverted imagination that Julia... 
truly arse backward?
Hey, Michael Caine in Spain, it is not your local nor that Spanish wine. Your perverted imagination is correct... 
Julia is arse backward because she is a ward of Obama's cradle-to-grave society.
Yeah, yeah, Bendy... 
but I'd hump it!
Why you old dog, Brian... 
you'd hump the leg of anything female.
Or male, for that matter, Bend. As Gene Roddenberry envisioned, I am truly, logically... 
bi-humpual--
