Star Trek literally teaches how democratic centralism is like and also has some episodes that quote directly from das Kapital hahah (Except the new shows like discovery)
I mean the crew power dynamics are closer to a democratic centralist system than the liberal democratic system that we have today and trek fans still love it, but most are just too blind to see it imo. gene roddenberry even has some ships named after soviet generals iirc and the soviet union was reinstated in the lore, i dont even know how the writers could make it more obvious what the political stance of the show is without it getting it shut down in the US political landscape.
i said this elsewhere in this post: we live in an age where trekkies think that trek is “too woke” and even american liberals feel like this, as evidenced by the startrek instance’s banning of anything further left than the american center-right political mainstream.

For example: USS Zhukov
He missed the huge opportunity to name a ship USS R. Malinovsky
