Not just TOS but pretty much all of the original Trek series is so apparent idk why people are thinking it's so crazy and radical that they had someone say this in SNW. TNG makes a habit of talking about how they advanced past the need for material wealth and everyone is provided for etc. DS9 brings it up regularly too. Voyager less often but it's in there.

I always feel slightly annpyed with DS9 because while they talk about it with Quarc and contrast with Firangi, I do wish thsy showed more confusion with hpw capitalism works like we saw in the voyage home
