==The Quark video==
I would interpret [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hdiuRMK3UQ this video] as Quark expressing love-hate feelings toward the Federation. There nothing in it clarifying what kind of government or economy the Federation might have. It’s just one of many scenes where these issues are evaded. The Federation represents “the good guys,” not an ideology like big government that would make it divisive with viewers. If the show presents the Federation as above ideology, then it is. There is no class warfare issue in Trek, so it is misleading to describe the Ferengi as “evil capitalists.” The Ferengi are usually depicted simply as unpleasant money grubbers. There are even several episodes where they are depicted sympathetically. In the Trek universe, the epitome of evil is the Borg collective, which is clearly socialist.
