Was it a good thing that SNW explicitly said the Federation is socialist? - eviltoast

In case you don’t know, they explicitly use the term socialist to describe the Federation economy in SNW. I was wondering if ppl liked or hated it? I like it personally since it’s not a dodge like “new world economy”

    I think so, the federation is often seen and portrayed as close as you can get to a utopia (Since it’s practically impossible to achieve a “true” utopia). They still have issues, make mistakes and wrong calls, and even some (albeit greatly reduced) crime.

    So having more positive association/references for the term socialist, a term that most general people can have a connection with, cant hurt.
