I'd say from a right wing perspective, Star Trek more than makes up for the lack of traditional nationalist and wealth-class hierarchies by featuring an overt all-encompassing military hierarchy. If you think hierarchy is necessary and good, then making it singular, explicit, and mandatory is utopian!
- ceejayoz 3y agoStarfleet isn’t all-encompassing nor mandatory.
- mindslight 3y agoNot for the universe, or even all the humans in the universe, sure. But for most shows I'm familiar with, Starfleet encompasses all of the main characters that the audience identifies with. And even though authority is often bucked for many reasons, that hierarchy is still in the background setting the interpretation of social interactions.
