       作为一个ST粉读David Graeber这段笑到打滚 :aru_0160: “Or consider Star Trek, that quintessence of American mythology. Is not the Federation of Planets—with its high-minded idealism, strict military discipline, and apparent lack of both class differences and any real evidence of multiparty democracy—really just an Americanized vision of a kinder, gentler Soviet Union, and above all, one that actually “worked”? [...] When political problems do arise, and they regularly do, those sent in to deal with them are invariably bureaucrats, diplomats, and officials. Star Trek characters complain about bureaucrats all the time. They never complain about politicians. Because political problems are always addressed solely through administrative means. But this is of course exactly what one would expect under some form of state socialism. We tend to forget that such regimes, also, invariably claimed to be democracies. [...] The Federation, then, is Leninism brought to its full and absolute cosmic success—a society where secret police, reeducation camps, and show trials are not necessary because a happy conjuncture of material abundance and ideological conformity ensures the system can now run entirely by itself.”(后面提到latinum和Borg是比较后来加进去的。[查了下，latinum是93年上映的DS9，Borg是89年上映的TNG])确实，回想起来我看过的部分里(主要是TOS)，有大量关于个体层面和“全人类”/all beings层面的冲突和讨论，但真的想不起来在state内部这个层面上的。
