Dear Lemmy, **why** Star Trek?? - eviltoast

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

    Collectivization of industry, ie a rejection of Private Property. FOSS is leftist as it rejects individually owned IP and the profit motive.

    Socialism, Anarchism, Communism, etc. are examples of leftist ideologies.

    If you want a true ELI5, instead of one dude owning the factory and therefore everything the Workers create in it, imagine the Workers owning the factory and democratically deciding how to allocate profits and whether or not to elect a manager to help facilitate this.
