There is a weird right-wing contingent of Trekkies who think it's all about pew pew fights with the Borg and they confuse the rest of us who love the idea of a socialist utopia where indigenous cultures are respected and people try to talk things out before shooting in hostile situations.

Trek has no money in the Federation; no barter. Nobody who's watched a season of any Trek show can avoid noticing that. It might be a bit murky with characters like Harry Mudd, or the Ferengi, but those operate outside the Federation; you'd have to be daft to miss that. TNG was more careful with their "capitalist" characters like Kivas Fajo, who was clearly a collector and trader rather than a travelling salesman.

Right-wing free-market Trekkies are self-deluding.

It's a special case of the more general rule: right-wing free-market anyone is self-deluding.
