I only recently came to the conclusion that STAR TREK is communist, and for the reasons posted in the quote you just cited
No one gets paid, Kirk and Picard have both said people work for the benefit of mankind, there is no money used in the future...
So, Why are their still Klingons to battle and why dont Kirk and Picard apologize to the Borg so they can relate?
It just seems more and more the Dems are trying to impose a Star Trek mentality upon a population that has Klingons attacking and the Borg trying to force us to assimilate!
After, Socialism wants us to work selflessly (Kirk and Picard both state there is no momey and people all work for the benefit of others first), it takes force to get us to realize this (STAR TREK-humans survived a nuclar war to only become enlightened by the aftermath), and when it is done, we will all be equal as the rest of the planet! (The goal of Communism)
I know my analogy is a little off, but the generalities of it I think are right on.
And I dont want to marry you, I wanna marry Incindiary...(sigh)...
Fool.

Communism just might work if there was NO LONGER ANY NEED TO COMPETE FOR RESOURCES.
If everything was created by a holopad, what the hell. I wouldn't care what you called it. Communism, Capitalism, Anarcho-Syndicalism, Disestablishmentarianism, Zorasterism.... it wouldn't matter the label.
If I had everything you could offer, including rent, for the push of a button, I'm cool. I might work for the benefit of mankind myself.
