      From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

      my private fan theory is that the Borg are actually the good guys but we only ever hear the gReAt fEdErAtIoN’s POV

      Journalists? Probably just to see how it will go wrong and report about it so we don‘t have to.

      If it actually worked, it would be really useful for a lot of people (it’s me. I’m a lot of people)

          Fully providing every single need to their people in an attempt to create the most efficient worker possible? It just so happens that their “work” is assimilating people into the hive, but… The methods surrounding their work are pretty nice.

          Do you? The Borg are a collective consciousness, it’s the most democratic government in the galaxy.

          My only problem with the Borg is they have a queen.

            Democracy isn’t that everyone is being forced to be of the same opinion. They don’t vote for their actions, the hive mind overrides each personality with the overarching Borg characteristics, mean assimilation of every worthy race, eradication of danger. There is no individual left in this. If you think that is democracy or socialism then I don’t know what else to tell you.
