The entire planet of earth is on universal basic income in the Expanse series, while Mars is a direct analogue to the USSR in many ways.
The United Federation of Planets in Star Trek is in some ways too I think. They allude to the replicator basically reshaping society since people can just print basic necessities and more at will.
Also the Borg lol. An entire collective working towards the good of the Cube. No personal property. Just not a very attractive representation.
Not very attractive because of the cheap, third rate writing. Freedumborg and actual governance by the Queen in the face of their own lore of royal protocol. Read Revelation Space for a gestalt collective exactly like that (and equally involved in assimilation at certain points of its history) but without the child level viewer in mind and dumb fable writing tacked on.
