Trekism (alternatively known as Roddenberryism) is a socialist and scientifically progressive ideology. He has mixed views on the statist axis however, mixing a strong state with heavy influence on the individual.
Trekism originates from Gene Roddenberry's creation of the show Star Trek. As the series progressed, its world became developed and some viewed it as a paradise. One of its main principles is that people, on their own, will act to benefit the society. Thus, "simplistic" notions like money, trade, and capitalism is unnecessary. Trekism also supports a world government.
Personality
Trekism is always very optimistic and hopeful about the future. It will often skip over apparent issues in its ideology, in favor of talking more about spaceships.
Trekism will frequently quote Jean-Luc Picard, and avidly distances itself from fans of Star Wars.
He talks literately, and will often spring into alien languages when talking about his ideas.
