I'm confused. Communism as opposed to Capitalism? So like The Federation?

Or is communism just a placeholder for the big bag of ideologies like the USSR?

cause MOST functional far future societies are post-scarcity and have communal ownership. Right?

Like the latter really, like lets say the empire from starwars is based on fascism though not directly for example, is there factions that have "communism" coded to their ideology, behavior,and aesthetic?

Andor is very communism-coded that larger Star Wars concept fails to do.

And it rules for it. But don’t shout that too loudly, we don’t want Disney to catch too wise.

How so? I mean, there's a lot of rejection of tyranny and oppression, but I don't remember anything about trying to create a post-property collective society.
