Talk:Star Trek franchise (view source)
Revision as of 21:46, December 18, 2013
, 21:46, December 18, 2013→On the topics of the political views of this show.: new section
I see that an edit describing Star Trek as politically liberal was recently reverted but I don't think it's necessarily untrue. Star Trek made/makes many political commentaries and is generally considered a liberal show (promotes one world government, frowns upon capitalism, etc) so I think it might be worth adding a politics section to this article. I'm not enough of a Trekkie to be an authority on the subject however, so would anyone else like to take this up? [[User:WilcoxD|WilcoxD]] 00:26, 12 March 2013 (EDT)

== On the topics of the political views of this show. ==
Now, I do not want to cause a fuss here, but I watched a few reruns of this show recently, and it seems to be very influenced by leftist elements, did some digging, and found some members of the cast and crew, were in fact, liberals. This did influence the show in large, but mostly unseen ways.Example: the world (or universe) of star trek seems to be heavily influence by communism. The government seems to be in the model of Marx's communist manifesto. Now, the focus of the show is on Kirk and his crew, so we as the viewer do not see this too often, but I feel it should be addressed in the article. Perhaps it is addressed in an episode I have not seen myself. Please post your answers or opinions to this. Thanks.
