Depends. Star Trek style? Maybe. 1960s Soviet style? Hell No!
Ironic. Star Trek is communist.
But like a weird mix of capitalism and communism where on the one hand everything is shared and centrally controlled and on the other hand nobody’s starving.
I guess they really did go where no one had gone before.
on the other hand nobody’s starving.

CIA’s own declassified documents a good enough source for you?
I also contest the “nobody’s starving” point you seem to be making. A hundred million people die every 5 years to starvation under capitalism.
Can you source that 20 million per year starvation under capitalism thing?
This is the same CIA that was putting people in boxes full of bugs to get information out of them?
No some report on adequate calories in the 80s and 90s doesn’t convince me that people don’t starve under communism. If the CIA itself were sitting down with me to discuss this, I’d want to see more than these two documents.
I misspoke, it’s not 20million it’s 9million for specifically hunger. The 20million figure I used here comes from adding in clean water and curable disease. It’s still an extremely basic and charitable figure for the extremely preventable deaths that occur under capitalism.
If the CIA’s own declassified internal documents refuting the cold war propaganda that you are spouting isn’t enough for you then nothing ever will be. You’re repeating the cold war propaganda line, I’m showing you that the CIA’s own documents at the time refute it, because obviously internally you can’t lie to yourselves about the matter even if you are doing propaganda publicly about it. You don’t want to acknowledge or absorb it because it would mean having to self-crit and readjust an ideological position you’re committed to.
Impressive, they just horse-shoed their own confirmation bias. It’s like shooting a rubber band back at your face. Most impressive.
This is not uncommon unfortunately. It’s actually gotten significantly worse in the last 5 years or so, like 15 years ago it was just taken as fact by literally everybody that pretty much everything in the cold war was bullshit. But with the rising anti-russia sentiment and obviously the war it’s like literally everything from that period is now just taken as fact. It’s wild. Even the extremely easy to disprove stuff like this.
EDIT: I feel like this user is a bot given how it’s gone and responded so many times below and then mixed up the conversations elsewhere.
That depends entirely on the quality of the space ship.
Space shuttle? Fuck that janky shit
Starship enterprise? Fuck yea sign me up imma fuck all the Andorian hookers
Which Enterprise though? There have been at least 9 (not counting the Enterprise-J).
Really the NX-01 or better would be great
Mate, I won’t explore my city because I’m afraid of crackheads. I’m definitely not locking myself with a bunch of crazy adrenaline addicts on a giant metal tube.
No.
Thanks.
