Star Trek is a commentary on social, political, economical and inter-species issues... if we forget about the movies and focus on the series.
But Star Wars recognises the dangers of authoritarianism and the inevitability of decay whereas Star Treks' Federation is an unrealistic utopia.
Like Coruscant was portrayed as a very realistic utopia...
Star Trek also addresses authoritarianism on multiple episodes... the inevitability of decay... hmmm... can't remember... For that, we have the Foundation saga!
