I prefer flawed but optimistic sci-fi than outright utopian, personally.
I’m currently writing two separate sci-fi settings; one set in a socialist state and the other in a communist society. I’m taking great pains to represent them positively without making them seem perfect so as to be more believable.
We need more hopeful, optimistic, and left-wing sci-fi future settings that are still engaging & grounded in reality.
I wonder what would happen to a space-faring communist society if it came into contact with a capitalist-like alien society. Would it regress back to socialism upon the reignition of class conflict and national borders ?

The capitalists would invade it and probably destroy it if it wasn’t able to build a state in time to protect itself.
