Obviously you've never seen later Star Trek TV series/movies, because their future society (on Earth and other Federation planets) is communist and they have achieved peace on Earth, and life is pretty damn good.
Did you seriously just use this as an argument?
Going trekky here, first off the ferderation is not communist as they have a elected government, unlike any communist nation in history. Secondly star trek is a work of fiction and is overly Idealistic at times.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
