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. [[User:RKelly|RKelly]] 16:46, 18 December 2013 (EST)

Also addressing the other co mentor above me, I feel that the show's Politics should be addressed in the article. perhaps we could see the edit and confirm it's validity and change whatever is wrong with it. [[User:RKelly|RKelly]] 16:49, 18 December 2013 (EST)

:[http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/11/18/star_trek_economy_federation_is_only_mostly_post_scarcity.html This article] describes how Star Trek characters run various businesses, even though they have no need for money. So the Federation's economic system can be described as "capitalism for the fun of it." This may not be a realistic view of human nature, but it is definitely not Marxism.

Fair point. But I was asking if this should be put in the article. I did not want to edit it without discussing the implications of this topic first. Thanks.

:I don't have a sense of what it is you want to write about. The political views of the cast and the crew? If the key grip was a Communist, why would anyone care? But you can go ahead and write what you want to write. If someone doesn't like it, they can change it. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 14:13, 21 December 2013 (EST)
