Which part of the description do you feel was inaccurate?
What I see is on the show is a glorified militaristic hierarchy and an audience of fans whose greatest wish is to be the guy giving the orders. It's the kind of thing the Star Wars Empire would fund as state propaganda.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> Which part of the description do you feel was inaccurate? Militaristic -- even Starfleet, the main "military" in the federation, seems to (despite the fact that it fights wars, has military ranks, and military process like "courts-martial"), maintains a myth that it isn't military. The society is so anti-militaristic that it can't even admit that it has a military. Fascistic -- Aside from militarism (discussed above), a defining element of fascism is nationalism. It'd be hard to think of a society less nationalistic than the Federation. Communist -- Rather than a planned economy, people seem pretty free to chose their own pursuits and applications of productive resources. State -- while it clearly has institutions like Startfleet, its not clear that the Federation is a state as we'd understand it, rather than an international institution with sovereign members like the UN. About the only part of your description that is roughly accurate is the "dressed in onesies" part.
