[spoiler alert DIS]

I finished the third season this weekend and I left with the sense that the scenario they found in the 32 century is a fable for the fall of the USSR and a Peak Oil ecological disaster.

The fragmentation of the federation a parallel to the rupture of the USSR in different independent republics, the hoarding of dilithium a reminiscence of a rationing system that drove further social unrest. The emerald chain the neoliberalist reformed economy ready to take over the ruins of the old world.
