I’ve always wanted to do one of a hippy, or a 1930s outright commy, going into suspended animation and waking up in a better world, improved by Supply Side economics and deregulation, with communism on the run.
It wouldn't do anything to the hippie. He would notice that even though all were wealthier, that some were wealthier than others, and would assume that correcting that would not reduce the amount of overall wealth.

The episode that really upset me was when they go to a planet and Lwaxana Troy meets a guy (whos was the guy that played Winchester in MASH).
He lived in a society where when you reach a certain age you commit suicide, because you aren’t contributing enough.
Lwaxana tried to convince him otherwise. In the end he did.
It was so sick

Yes, and he would join the BLM riots, convinced that the prosperity he sees all around him is evil and racist and must be destroyed. The marijuana that is now mostly legal would reinforce this paradigm, and he would be huffing it non-stop.
