@mbybee our future in Space will not happen with Capitalism, it's too short term and evil. Star Trek didn't have capitalists, it's good to have noble goals.
@passwordsarehard4@mbybee I think, like the Klingons, somebody had the misfortune to let them out into the wider Galaxy, probably why the Federation has that Prime Directive really, stuff like that....
@Lazarou@mbybee there were pirates and black markets outside of the federation. Capitalism still existed just not in federation aligned worlds. They still had scarcity and markets that were driven by it. Latium and dilithium crystals both come to mind. The federation was protected from capitalism but it hadn’t eliminated it.
