Progress was achieved, state socialism is not coming. There is not a single ideology you cannot overdo.It's fascinating to me to see people ITT, all of you fans of the franchise apparently, complaining about a Star Trek series being too woke, having diverse for diversity's sake, or being overtly political. TOS was all of those. Do you remember the bridge crew? The first interracial kiss on television? The Neutral Zone separating the Federation from the Romulan Empire?
I'm not saying all criticism is invalid--I haven't watched much of any of the newer series, TBH, so I can't really judge. And I have no doubt that when you are churning out so many, there are bound to be duds--perhaps more duds than successes even. But to complain they have gay people or a fat hologram or whatever is just plain silly to me.
Think what you want, of course. That's just my 2 cents FWIW.
TOS's ideas kinda succeeded minus for the state socialism with no money part. What the current writers are pushing will go to the dustbin of history and never be accepted.
