Reminds me of how funny it is you have fans who claim the new shows have a “leftist” bias, when DS9 was making episodes quoting the Communist Manifesto.
Even TOS had a blatant anti-racism episode where the conclusion was very much explicitly “if we don’t get along, we’ll be left extinct on an empty, dead husk of a planet”.

Right wing politics is explicitly anti utopian, because utopia is bad…or whatever.

Yeah I’m still confused by people who don’t get the fact that Star Trek has always been a pretty liberal soapbox
