Star Trek is a Socialist Realism series. Gene himself was a Maoist Communist in the 60s-70s. TNG outright brings into Trek that humanity has become the "new Soviet Man" written about by early Soviet Revolutionaries and the USSR that values Self-discipline, Self-improvement, Stoicism, Professionalism, Intellectualism, Beauty and Team work as his core cultural values.
As Trotsky idealised
>Man at last will begin to harmonize himself in earnest. He will make it his business to achieve beauty by giving the movement of his own limbs the utmost precision, purposefulness and economy in his work, his walk and his play. He will try to master first the semiconscious and then the subconscious processes in his own organism, such as breathing, the circulation of the blood, digestion, reproduction, and, within necessary limits, he will try to subordinate them to the control of reason and will. Man will make it his purpose to master his own feelings, to raise his instincts to the heights of consciousness, to make them transparent, to extend the wires of his will into hidden recesses, and thereby to raise himself to a new plane, to create a higher social biologic type, or, if you please, a superman.
Look at Soviet Propaganda, that is literally the "World" the Federation and Star Trek inhabit. It's basically "What if Soviet Propaganda actually turned out to be true and this is what humanity became".
Star Trek was never fucking "woke", Wokeness is fetishised post-modern hyper-individualism identity politics. Woke values being a fucking dysgenic loser and victim slave morality.
Gene himself didn't even want aesthetically want Stewart to be Picard because he wanted the cast to all be Chads because he assumed everyone in the Trek universe would basically be New Soviet Chad Alphas.
Now it's LOOK EVERYONE IS A FUCKING AUTIST OR GAY FREAK WITH TRAUMA.
