Star Trek shows a wonderful post scarcity world where every material thing can be duplicated...but power and rank (the one thing everyone craves) is allocated by The Party. Of course commies love it - it's got commie power politics and capitalist wealth characteristics.https://twitter.com/BoomerNiner/status/1452772603559616512 …

Yes, that's communism all right! I just meant that 'the Party' isn't necessarily a feature (or bug) of every imagined communist society.

Valid. One can IMAGINE a communist society without an elite class, I suppose...but a fundamental rule of science fiction is that you only get ONE impossible invention, and Trek already has FTL !
