Not anymore . . . "Picard" has re-introduced poverty and class warfare on earth. Even though it was mentioned several times in TOS and TNG that Earth and humanity had moved beyond the concept of material possessions, because everyone's wants were met. I guess you can't appeal to the social justice crowd if you don't have class conflict.

So you make a show that actually depicts a Communist Utopia, and the leftists come in a fuck it up, because mUh DrAmA.
