How did they become a cash free society in Star Trek?

>get to explore the galaxy without having to deal with starfleet bullshit
>everyone thinks you're some all knowing wise sage and always follows your advice
>all you have to do in exchange is put drink orders into a replicator
Seems like a pretty good deal to me

basically sums it all up

commie propaganda

Big fuck off war

Apparently the replicators can't replicate anything, or it requires enormous energy, or raw material.

>How did they become a cash free society
No scarcity. Nothing has value because everything is replicable and also disposable. Gold has no value when you can produce as much as you want out of thin air with no effort.

>enormous energy
They can produce enough energy on-demand to literally warp the fabric of space. Rearranging subatomic particles to create a McChicken is a tiny matter by comparison.

Why don't we try it in real life?

this is honestly the way things will probably be in 100 years only it won't be a utopia it will be a dystopia

>society didn't result in trillions plugging in to virtual reality

WW3 and gomunism

They confiscated all jewish money and liquidated them (literally) to provide material for the replicators.

They can't replicate starships. That's the only limitation. It makes no sense, but if they could, Starfleet would consist of billions of starships piloted by replicated Datas.

Because liberals hate nuclear energy for some reason.

Because you can use the replicators to conjure up money

But what are Federation ducats if they don't have money?

Did you notice any jews in the Star Trek universe?

>Spock
>Chekov
>Sarek
>Data

But what about the Jews?

Ferrengi?

>They literally had no tax policy...
On the contrary, they charged 100% taxes.

with 100^100% return as universal infinite credit card balance

Michio Kaku explained what would happen in a Star Trek "Utopia". The number of neets would rise as there isn't any need to acquire money, want something? just replicate it

Somebody has to work to keep the replicators running. They won't do it for free. A totally NEET society can exist, but Star Trek isn't advanced enough for that. Manual labor is still required in many fields

On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car or his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite—just as it is today, but with two differences. Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite. Or, if the elite consists of soft- hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone’s physical needs are satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes “treatment” to cure his “problem.” Of course, life will be so purposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their need for the power process or to make them “sublimate” their drive for power into some harmless hobby. These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they most certainly will not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals.

There's clearly some form of economy because things like owning your own starship are still very uncommon. Essentially everyone is on welfare that makes it so they don't have to work, but if they want anything more than the average things in life they need to do more.

All the elite would need to do is invent perfect VR. Look how much time of their lives people already spend through this board, imagine if the board was EVERYTHING with anything tweaked by the elites as they desire while we die out in real life "peacefully"

Seriously, being Sam Malone in space would be awesome

This. They even have UBI in the Expanse.

Countless studies show that when people have all their needs and expenses taken care of, they take up hobbies, they naturally gravitate toward charity, and their sense of community is heightened.

And being taken care of is different from being a NEET. The latter is knowing that the well eventually runs dry and you'll have to crash hard into a terrible career at an old age. The rich kid who is actually a good, generous, actively person with perfect emotional health has generational wealth. He is what we would all become

>well eventually runs dry
post-scarcity means nothing to you does it
