There's no chance a 60s US TV show would be trying to promote the USSR.

A whole bunch of people in Hollywood were arrested for being sympathetic to socialism. Sure, they couldn't directly say they support the USSR, but that's not what the comment above says. It's a veiled reference to USSR like attributes (potentially). If someone wanted to talk about the USSR in a good way, something like Star Trek is how they would have to do it. Is it? I don't know, but I can see that argument being true. Could it be? Absolutely.

The Enterprise is based off the USS Enterprise, America's first nuclear aircraft carrier.

That names has been used for many ships for centuries, including two other aircraft carriers. It has a long history that isn't just aircraft carriers.

Their comment is peak Qanon/twitter/youtube media criticism. They'll take any surface-level thing, like names, numbers, colors, dress, and spend hours incoherently trying to prove some random point that has nothing to do with anything. Twitter and youtube algorithms reward them and thrive off the engagement.
