The original series might have been set in a future where the world was socialistic, but due to the fact it was made in the 1960s, many of the values of (conservative?) creator Gene Roddenberry were shared by the characters.
This is set before Captain Kirk. Is the Star Trek fan base just going to pretend the original series never happened?
Kirk is a pretty strong-willed alpha male who sleeps with almost everything that moves.
I don't seem to remember the original Star Trek being very marxist or SJW, not TNG either.
Yes, they've got different races working as one Earth, but so what? I don't recall a single racially charged theme in either of them. Normal alpha male characters and generally attractive feminine women. They even have a 100% rational character in Spock (libertarian sperg) who would no doubt today be called a mansplainer and/or white supremacist.
I understand the idea of one earth with no Christianity must have been rather radical back then, but overall I can't see too much jewing going on.
