Just because it has not yet been done, does not mean it could never be done.
And I know Star Trek is a work of fiction.
I was not pointing out that star trek is fiction, but rather that it is too idealistic at times. And communism mixed with democracy is not communism, and would more aptly be described as socialism.
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.
